3. INTERNATIONAL QUALITY IN CONSTRUCTION SUMMIT

“GLOBAL COMPETITION and SUSTAINABILITY ”, 22 November 2011, ISTANBUL

• Building Sector in Turkey: A summary

• Importance of energy consumption/efficiency for Turkey and Building Sector

• Current legislative framework and financial mechanisms– ESCO– Other financial mech. in the market– Credits, loans, grants form EU, TURSEFF, other national banks

• Foreseen financing opportunities in short and medium term in draft legislation

– Energy Efficiency projects– Voluntary agreement

• Evaluation and Conclusion

OUTLINE

Energy Consumption vs Energy Efficiency:

• Between 1998-2008 annual increase rate of

o total final energy consumption 3.81%

o industrial final energy consumption 3.56%

o residential final energy consumption 3.49%

o transportation final energy consumption 4.07%

o service sector final energy consumption 7.44%

BUILDING SECTOR IN TURKEY

• share of total energy consumption 30 % • share of electrical energy consumption 45 %• energy saving potential app.30%

• In Turkey, studies for the industry sector regarding energy efficiency have been conducted since 1980s whereas for the building sector studies started after the constitution of legal framework at 2007.

The first driving force can be stated as the Law on Energy Efficiency !

Current legislative framework and financial mechanisms in the market

ESCO activities

•Service agreement – for determination of saving potential•Implementation agreement – EPC – for realization of saving potential

o Third party financing !

Target buildings: •For commercial buildings – with total construction area equal or greater than 20 000 m2 / total energy consumption equal or greater than 500 TEP•For public/governmental buildings – with construction area equal or greater than 10 000 m2 / total energy consumption equal or greater than 250 TEP

•Unfortunately no impelementation agreement so far!!

8

Current legislative framework and financial mechanisms in the market

Energy Efficiency Projects (EE Projects)•According to your sector, scale, target saving potential, the upper limit changes!

Voluntary agreements•If you guarantee at least 10% saving in 3 years, the support of 20% of the energy cost in the starting year up to 200 000 TL ( app. 80 000 EURO)

•Unfortunately no implementation foreseen for buildings!!

Foreseen financing opportunities in short and medium term in draft legislation

Draft Energy Efficiency Strategy (2012 – 2023)•Strategic objective 1: Reducing energy intensity and energy losses in commercial buildings and insustries.

• Inceasing the upper limits of both EE Projects and Voluntary agreements to 1 000 000 TL (400 000 Euro)

• not only industires but also commercial buildings • giving more attention to decrease in electricity usage as well as

renewable energy projects.

EVALUATION AND CONCLUSION

DECLERATION:

•A kind of SWOT analysis in financing energy efficiency in building sectors.

•Every toe of energy you saved can result in a bulk of money in your pocket towards low carbon society

•After the discussion is over and that is the time for not thinking but acting.
