A new approach was taken to meet the energy demands of a building in the countryside. Calculation of the thermal requirements was made by considering TS 825 standard. The waste heat potential of gas engine in the biogas plant is determined. In the calculations done, utilization rate of the waste heat of biogas plant with the consumption scenario for a dormitory is determined. Consequently, the building is heated more efficiently and 13.66% saving is achieved. An environmentally friendly system is designed and less CO <sub>2 </sub> released to the atmosphere. </span>}, number={3}, publisher={Şükrü DURSUN}
