Energy efficiency in public buildings in
Turkey is currently at a low level. Energy use in the
country’s public and service sectors experienced a five-fold
increase between 2000 and 2015. Total green house gas (GHG)
emissions increased by more than 120 percent from 1990 to
2015, constituting a significant environmental challenge.
Several policy, regulatory, financial and technical barriers
have prevented meaningful improvements to date. The
government of Turkey aims to substantially reduce its energy
consumption in all strategic sectors of buildings, industry,
and transport. Several legal requirements are in place for
energy efficiency, such as the energy efficiency law, a
regulation on energy performance in buildings, and
regulation on increasing energy efficiency in the use of
energy resources. In support of the government’s plan to
curb energy consumption, the World Bank’s energy efficiency
in public buildings project was approved on November 5,
2019, to demonstrate the renovation of a large share of the
central government building stock, and develop sustainable
financing and institutional mechanisms to support a
scaled-up, national program for energy efficiency in public
buildings in Turkey. The project supports the renovation of
central government and central-government affiliated
buildings based on periodic calls for proposals to improve
energy performance. Through these renovations and
experiences, the government will develop a national program
covering central and municipal buildings across the country
and introduce sustainable financing and implementation schemes. |
