Nationwide: PROJECT ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS (KABEV)
Background:
Türkiye has a significant energy efficiency and renewable energy potentials due to sector-specific conditions and its geographical location, respectively. For example, the most important factor in utilizing solar energy is the geographical
location of the country and its potential to receive sunlight throughout the year. According to the Türkiye Solar Energy Potential Atlas (GEPA), the average annual total sunshine duration is 2.741 hours, and the average annual total radiation
value is calculated as 1527,46 kWh/m2. Türkiye spends approximately 110 days of a year quite efficiently in terms of solar energy production.
According to Articles 491-492 and additional articles of the “Goals and Policies” area of Türkiye 11th Development Plan, electricity production from renewable energy sources will be increased, necessary planning and
investments will be made to ensure the safe integration of renewable energy production into the grid, and more efficient and self-generating buildings will be made widespread. Supports will be provided to encourage energy efficiency in public
buildings and unlicensed solar power plant applications will be expanded to meet their own electricity needs (self-consumption).
Targets:
With Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Applications in Public Buildings, the following targets will be achieved:
- Reduction of fuel and electricity consumption
- Providing budget savings from energy related expenditures
- Reduction in CO2 emissions
- Increase in comfort conditions of building users
- Increasing awareness of energy efficiency
- Development of Energy Service Companys’ market with Energy Performance Contracts (EPC) in Public Buildings
- Dissemination of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) starting from the public sector with pilot applications
Project Financing Amount: 300 million USD
Project Target: Achieving minimum 20% savings through energy efficiency measures in 500-700 public buildings

(EEPB/WB/MoEU/REN-WORKS-P18)” within the scope of the Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings Project carried out under the coordination of the General Directorate of Construction Works of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization
and Climate Change of the Republic of Turkey was initiated on December 29, 2023.
Nationwide: EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT ON PUBLIC BUILDINGS (KADEV)
Background:
Türkiye is a country that frequently faces natural disasters due to its tectonic, seismic, topographic and climatic structure. Earthquakes that cause loss of life and property are the most important natural disasters. Our country ranks third
in the world in terms of human loss due to earthquakes and eighth in terms of the number of people affected. On average, at least one earthquake with a magnitude of 5 to 6 occurs every year.
Within the framework of measure numbered 725.1 under the title of “Disaster Management” in the 2019-2020 Presidential Program and the 11th Development Plan, inventory of public service buildings and reinforcement works against disasters
are carried out by our Ministry in line with the “Türkiye Disaster Response Plan (TAMP)” prepared within the scope of the “Regulation on Disaster and Emergency Response Works” published in the Official Gazette
dated 18.12.2013 and numbered 28855, scanning, damage assessment and reinforcement works of public buildings after disasters such as earthquakes, floods, etc. are carried out by our Ministry.
By using the data obtained from the Public Buildings Inventory System (KAYES), earthquake-prone public buildings will be prioritized and in addition to the earthquake reinforcement of public buildings, energy efficiency improvements will be made.
Energy efficiency; is an area that complements and horizontally intersects national strategic goals such as alleviating the burden of energy costs on the economy, ensuring security of energy supply, reducing risks arising from external dependency,
transition to a low-carbon economy and protecting the environment. The building sector in Türkiye has been developing rapidly in recent years, and while the final energy consumption of the sector was 19.5 MTEP in 2000, it increased by
66% and reached 32.4 MTEP in 2015. The share of the building sector in final energy consumption reached 32.8%, surpassing the industrial sector.
Among the actions defined for increasing energy efficiency in the building and services sector within the scope of the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan, are the improvement of the efficiency classes of new and existing buildings and
the implementation of the savings potential in the public sector.
In accordance with the Circular No. 2019/18 dated 15/08/2019 of the Presidency, it is expected to achieve a minimum of 15% energy savings in public buildings by the end of 2023. Within the framework of the Regulation on Increasing Efficiency
in the Use of Energy Resources and Energy, energy efficiency studies are carried out in public buildings and studies are carried out to implement the identified potential.
In order to increase the earthquake resistance and energy efficiency of our country’s building stock, the “Earthquake Resistance and Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings Project” will be carried out by the General Directorate
of Construction of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization under the guarantee of the Ministry of Treasury and Finance with a loan from the World Bank. With this project, public buildings such as hospitals, schools, administrative
buildings etc. will be made resistant to earthquake and disaster risks and their energy efficiency will be improved, and demonstrable energy savings will be achieved. The potential in public buildings will be evaluated and the economic
growth of our country will be supported.
Targets:
The general objective of the Earthquake Resistance and Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings Project is to strengthen public buildings (educational buildings, dormitories, hospitals and administrative buildings) that are inefficient in terms
of energy use and have a high earthquake risk against earthquakes and to ensure energy efficiency.
It is proposed to monitor the progress to be made in line with the Project Development Objective through the following indicators:
(a) the number of people benefiting from public buildings made resistant to earthquake and disaster risks
(b) lifetime energy savings expected from energy efficiency investments in central government buildings
(c) percentage of Project beneficiaries reporting improvements in building safety and comfort (disaggregated by gender).
The Project will support improvements in earthquake and disaster resilience and energy efficiency in buildings belonging to or associated with the central government through retrofitting and renovation or demolition and reconstruction.
Project Financing Amount: 200 750 000 USD
Project Target: The Project aims to determine the efficiency potentials in existing public buildings with different uses and to make improvements in terms of energy efficiency, to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions,
to monitor and control energy consumption, to close the current account deficit due to energy, and to create a model for making all public buildings in Turkey energy efficient after the Project, thus developing the sector and raising
awareness.
