TÜBİTAK Projesi, 2020 - 2022
PROT3CT is a cross‐disciplinary joint research project led by
Middle East Technical University (Turkey) and University College London (United
Kingdom), and funded by British Council and TÜBİTAK through Newton Funds
Institutional Links. The specific objectives of PROT3CT are to identify cost
effective packages of improvement options to enhance the energy performance of
traditional dwelling typologies in Turkey, help increase awareness of
residents, custodians of heritage, policymakers, and academia of climate
resiliency, and provide knowledge exchange to establish sustainable impact and
collaborative links.
Totally, four engagement workshops will be held on behalf of the
PROT3CT as listed below:
PROT3CT project partners:
METU, UCL, Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanisation, KORDER and SAYKA,
UK Centre for Moisture in Buildings (UKCMB), and Sustainable Traditional
Buildings Alliance (STBA)
Objectives
The biggest value of this initiative will be to
provide an exchange of knowledge and strengthen the network in the relevant
research community. This workshop aims to bring a group of climatologists,
meteorologists, and heritage conservation experts together to discuss the criticality of the climatic impacts on traditional dwellings and the
effectiveness of community engagement in improving climate mitigation and
adaptation strategies. This understanding will help us to prioritize the risks
and to conduct the most proper retrofit strategies in the project considering both residents’ and policymakers’ requirements.
