Sub-activity 1.4

Purpose EE potential and RE implementation facilities in public buildings determined


1.4.1 Identify public buildings (1000 m2+) private buildings (5000 m2+)

1.4.2 Prepare EE/RE potential report for 150 public 50 private buildings

1.4.3 Prepare energy certificates for 200 and conduct EE audits in 10 buildings

1.4.4 Implement EE projects 3 public buildings that are selected

1.4.5 Establishment of ESCO models for EECs for building audits

1.4.6 Present results and outcomes by means of seminars and other activities

Progress 1.4.1 Completed in January 2013.

1.4.2 Due to the new legislations to identify the energy consumption profiles and to issue the energy id cards of the new buildings after construction and the existing buildings until the end of 2017, several studies have been performed by independent consultants, eliminating the necessity of the planned action.

1.4.3 GAP RDA has signed a protocol with the GAP Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Center (GAP-YENEV) of Harran University to issue energy identification cards for 10 public buildings and to conduct detailed energy audits in five public buildings with different technical characteristics in 2017.

1.4.4 Heat and sound insulation of the Sanliurfa Administrative Court building was completed in August 2013. GAP Energy Efficiency Consultancy & Incubation Centre building was retrofitted to be a passive house in accordance with the EnerPHit criteria of the German Passivhous Institut in April 2015. Since the latter demonstrates all of the possible applications to reduce the overall

10

energy consumption of a building, no other building was selected for the third application.

1.4.5 An energy efficiency consultancy company has been formed, by a group of engineers who were trained within the scope of the EE incubation center project, in Gaziantep. The company has been certified by the Directorate General of the Renewable Energy. Meetings on the other side are held with such organizations as TURSEFF to provide long-term credits for energy-efficiency applications, as the financing is an integral part of the ESCO models. However, the lack of solid financial support systems and the requirement of medium to long-term agreements do not currently allow to establish full ESCO systems in building energy performance contracts.

1.4.6 Results and outcomes were presented in several seminars and conferences, including ICCI 2016 and PLEA2016.

Additional Considerations The pilot projects have been designed in such a way to include capacity development activities for the managerial and technical staff of the institutions at which the pilot projects are implemented. In this sense, during the reporting period, the staff of the institutions has been provided with awareness raising programs on energy efficiency in public buildings.

Additional Considerations As a result of the biomass potential of the GAP Region report, three potential sites have been identified, Oğuzeli Gaziantep, Şanlıurfa Organized Industrial Zone and Bismil, Diyarbakır. A concept note and action plan which outlines the next steps of the biomass activities is developed. Feasibility studies on agricultural waste management,

12

collection models, geographical optimization for the locations of the pilot biomass power plants and financial viability options have been conducted in the locations stated above. A consultant has been mobilized to undertake the feasibility studies identified in the concept note. Consultations and technical meetings have been made with relevant institutions such as YEGM, TURSEFF, Development Agencies, TAGEM, and Gaziantep Greater Municipality. Contingent to the GAP RDA’s request and decision, Bismil pilot project has been supported both financially and technically. For the remaining pilot projects, the project will act as a facilitator.

Progress 2.3.1 Completed in February 2015. Measurement and testing activities were conducted at 20 irrigation pump stations and an assessment report was prepared.

2.3.2 Before designing a region-wide contributory grant scheme, the solar irrigation steering committee has been decided to observe the actual performance of the pilot stations in both summer and winter conditions and conduct techno-economic analyses to identify the specifications of systems with the best cost to benefit ratios. Raising the awareness in the agriculture sector through communicating and promoting the results -and hence creating an actual demand in solar irrigation systems- has been taken into consideration as a key step to be completed to initiate a support programme during the drafted third phase of the project REEE.

2.3.3 Completed in August 2013.

2.3.4 As per the decision of the Project Steering Committee, four solar irrigation pilot projects have been demonstrated. The deployment of the four pilot solar irrigation systems have been completed. The monitoring and evaluation systems have been deployed at three pilot solar irrigation stations.

2.3.5 Statistical data on performance parameters of the systems and the meteorological variables have been collected for a full year. Collected data have been analyzed and a techno-economic assessment report has been prepared and distributed to the local institutions. Each solar irrigation system has been visited by local farmers and related information have been provided by the owners.

2.3.6 Assessments made on the production of solar systems in the Region have revealed that a certain level of demand is needed reach the breakeven points of the potential investments in manufacturing solar irrigation systems in the Region.
