Abstract
After the settlement textures were designed and constructed, they continue to exist without any change for years, and they have considerable effects on building energy consumptions and the natural environment. In addition, with the changes in our lives through the COVİD-19 pandemic, the houses have turned into versatile spaces where we spend most of the time and the amount of energy used in the houses has increased even more. The decrease of energy usage is a top objective in the design of the settlements from an economic and environmental standpoint. Therefore, the design parameters affecting the energy consumptions in the settlement textures are evaluated with a holistic approach, both settlement scale and building scale. The study is focused to determine appropriate values for the design parameters. In addition, energy modelling and simulations were carried out with BIM software, and the use, advantages and capabilities of BIM systems were tested in the energy efficient design for reducing energy consumptions. As a result, energy consumption in buildings get changes greatly in regard to settlement scale and building scale design parameters. Selecting the proper values for design parameters affects the building's energy performance and helps create sustainable and energy-efficient environment.
