Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, Department of Architecture, is preparing to launch the first expert session of the Fall 2025–2026 ARCH315 Building Installations and Physics course. The upcoming Mechanical Building Services Workshop for Thermal Comfort, Water & Gas Systems will introduce students to the technical infrastructure that directly shapes indoor environmental quality.
Guest speaker Melih Özöner (Mechanical Engineer & Founder, YMT Engineering) will discuss system requirements, design considerations, and basic performance principles related to thermal comfort, water distribution, and gas installations. The workshop will also touch on how these systems influence architectural decision-making.
Date: 02.12.2025
Time: 09:30
Venue: L303 & L302
Open to: Faculty
The session is coordinated by Assoc. Prof. Ekrem Bahadır Çalışkan, Aslı Zeynep Doğan, and Buse Akçay Pehlivanoğlu. ARCH315 students are expected to attend as part of the course program.
