The buildings and construction sector are responsible for 36% of the global total energy consumption and 40% of the total direct and indirect CO2 emissions. Therefore, with each passing day, the efforts to increase efficiency in building energy usage are gaining importance. In this study, an energy survey was conducted for a sports complex in Istanbul with a capacity of 1,306 spectators and annual energy consumption of 729.6 TOE (Tons of Oil Equivalent) and then, some measures to increase efficiency were presented. These measures were examined on the systems where energy consumption was intense, such as cooling, air conditioning, instalments and lighting. With the measures to be taken, it is predicted that annually 68.2 TOE of energy can be saved.}, number={2}, publisher={Istanbul Arel University}
