“…at energy consumption points, and efficiency increasing projects were proposed at these points. According to the results, it is determined that the energy consumption value of the university in 2016 reached 1422 tons of equivalent oil (TEP) and has an energy saving potential of up to 18% (Rüşen et, 2018). Üreden & Özden (2018) suggested that the external insulation of the buildings could reduce the emission due to heat.…”

Universities play a leading role in promoting sustainability in society. Besides their technical roles, they have important social responsibilities and should be a leader for their stakeholders. Therefore, there is an important need to manage and reduce carbon emissions in universities to ensure environmental sustainability. Ege University (EU) has the vision of being a sustainable campus. In this context, in order to reduce carbon emissions, a carbon footprint study has been carried out primarily to determine carbon emission resources. The life cycle assessment (LCA) tool was used to analyze the Ege University carbon footprint. The study was based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard and ISO14064/1-2 standards. In the study, the EU campus was evaluated as the main campus and the medical faculty campus. Total carbon emissions of Ege University in 2016 were analyzed as a total of 40.608 tCO2e within the Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. As a result of the study, it was revealed that 37% of total emission was caused by constant and mobile combustion, 39% from electricity usage, and 24% from travel and staff transportation. In the discussion, it was emphasized that EU should turn to energy conservation and efficiency, awareness activities, and renewable energy resources in its short, medium, and long term plans in order to reduce carbon emissions.

Enerjide dışa bağımlılığın giderek arttığı ülkemizde en yoğun tüketim bina sektöründe olmaktadır. Bu sebeple binalarda enerji verimliliğini artıracak çözümlerin bir an önce uygulamaya geçmesi gerekmektedir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda oluşturulan bu çalışma kapsamında, Manisa Celal Bayar Üniversitesi bünyesinde hizmet veren Köprübaşı Meslek Yüksekokul binası irdelenerek enerji tasarruf performansı araştırılmıştır. Binanın mevcut durumunun davranışını belirlemek amacıyla yıl boyunca ölçümler yapılarak enerji kullanım düzeyi belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra önerilen iyileştirmeler sonucunda nasıl bir enerji tasarrufu sağlayacağını belirlemek amacıyla, bilgisayar tabanlı enerji modellemesi yapılmıştır. Simülasyon sonucunda elde edilen verilerden yola çıkarak, binanın enerji tasarruf potansiyeli ve iyileştirme sonucunda nasıl bir davranış göstereceği hesaplanmıştır. Hem ölçüm verilerinden hem de modellemeden elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda, mevcut bina yıllık bazda, 90,40 kWh/m 2 yıl enerji tüketirken, önerilen iyileştirmeler sonucunda 55,54 kWh/m 2 yıl enerji tüketir hale gelmiştir. Yani, yaklaşık %40 oranında enerji tasarrufu sağlama potansiyeli olduğu belirlenmiştir. Binanın mevcut durumdaki kullanım düzeyine göre sera gazı emisyonu 74,90 kgCO2/m²yıl değerinde iken, önerilen iyileştirmeler ve bina çatısında hâlihazırda mevcut olan FV-GES'in desteğiyle bu değer 12,61 kgCO2/m²yıl değerine kadar düşeceği hesaplanmıştır.

The significant amount of energy used in Turkey is for heating purposes. It is possible to use energy consumption effectively and efficiently by reducing the heat losses in buildings during the winter months. Thermal insulation is the most important method used to reduce heat losses in buildings. In addition, the suitability and efficiency of the thermal insulation applied in the building should be investigated. In this study, Bitlis Eren University Faculty of Arts and Sciences service building located in Rahva campus of Bitlis Province was chosen as the main study area. The theoretical fuel consumption amount to be used for heating the building was determined and compared with the actual consumption value. In addition, during the heating season, thermal and insulation efficiency was evaluated by taking images of the building from different facades with a thermal camera. As a result of the calculations; It has been determined that the heat energy requirement per unit usage area of the building is above the value specified in the TS 825 standard, and the actual fuel consumption used for heating purposes is higher than the theoretical fuel consumption. As a result of the examination of the building with a thermal camera, it was determined that the insulation was not applied well at the junction of the window frames with the wall and on some exterior walls.
