Ideas in progress.
Built with purpose.

I develop research and practical tools to support sustainable renovation, life-cycle performance assessment and informed engineering decisions.

01 / DOCTORAL RESEARCHPROJECT 01

A framework for better retrofit choices.

Research in progress · Gaziantep University, Türkiye

Which residential renovation option is preferable when energy, carbon and cost objectives conflict—and when some modelling information changes?

The doctoral project develops a transparent comparison framework for multiple retrofit alternatives. It examines life-cycle performance while keeping the underlying decision problem explicit.

01

Performance

Understanding the operational energy implications of interventions.

02

Consequences

Capturing carbon and cost impacts beyond a single assessment year.

03

Decision logic

Comparing trade-offs transparently without overstating certainty.

My simulation and comparative analysis programme is ongoing as part of my doctoral research at Gaziantep University.

02 / SOFTWARE RESEARCHPROJECT 02

Introducing RetrofitIQ.

Research software in development

RetrofitIQ is a developing decision-support interface intended to make building-renovation assessment easier to understand and communicate.

Its direction centres on clear inputs, understandable comparisons and explicit distinctions between knowledge-based guidance and thesis-verified evidence.

RetrofitIQ combines transparent assumptions, assessment workflows and reporting within a single research-focused interface. Interface concept shown above.
01 / CLARITY

Understand inputs

Organize assessment assumptions with explicit context and purpose.

02 / COMPARISON

Explore trade-offs

Make energy, carbon and cost dimensions easier to interpret.

03 / TRACEABILITY

Explain decisions

Support reproducible reporting and confidence in the evidence trail.

03 / SELECTED PUBLISHED WORKCONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

Research beyond renovation.

My published materials research includes nano-silica-enhanced concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete, and lower-carbon masonry ideas using alternative inputs.
