Turkey Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings

The objective of the Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings in Turkey is to reduce energy use in central government buildings and inform the development of sustainable financing mechanisms to support a scaled-up, national program for energy efficiency in public buildings. The first component will support the renovation of central government and central-government affiliated buildings (i.e., public buildings under central line ministries, such as schools and hospitals). The three subcomponents are: (1) Conventional EE investments in central government buildings; (2) Energy service company investments; and; (3) Pilot near-zero energy buildings. The second component will support various technical assistance activities, to be managed by both Ministry of Environment and Urbanization (MoEU) and Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MENR). The two subcomponents are: (1) Communication and outreach to solicit applications for future years, experts for energy audit and technical design reviews, and; (2) Build capacity for Energy service company (ESCO) market development through the training of ESCOs, provision of regulatory support, development of procedures, templates and case studies.
