Energy plans are at the center
of countries' development plans. The share of buildings in energy consumption
is about 40%. Energy consumption in buildings can be reduced by 25-45% with the
measures taken. The European Union has published the Energy Performance
Directive on Buildings (EPBD) to reduce the energy consumption of buildings.
European Union member and candidate countries are obliged to fulfill the
provisions of the regulation. Turkey is among the candidate countries for
accession to the European Union (EU). Therefore, the energy consumption of the
existing buildings and the reduction of CO2 emissions were examined in
this study. Since The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts
that global temperatures will increase by a range of 1.1°C to 6.4°C by the end
of the twenty-first century, future climate data were also taken into
consideration in this study. For the study, measures were determined to achieve
the EU's total CO2 emission reduction targets. A mass housing
settlement built by the Housing Development Administration (TOKİ) in Isparta
has been identified as the study area. Improving the heating systems of these
buildings, increasing the energy performance of the building envelope and the
production of electricity with photovoltaic (PV) panels were studied in this
study. As a result of the study, it was determined that it has 66% CO2
emissions in 2020, 79% in 2030, and 84% less in 2050 compared to 1990.

Enerji planları, ülkelerin kalkınma planlarının merkezindedir. Binaların enerji tüketimindeki payı yaklaşık %40'tır. Alınan tedbirlerle binalarda enerji tüketimi %25-45 oranında azaltılabilmektedir. Avrupa Birliği, binaların enerji tüketimini azaltmak için Binalarda Enerji Performansı Direktifini (EPBD) yayınladı. Avrupa Birliği’ne üye ve aday ülkeler Avrupa Birliği’nin yayınladığı yönetmelik hükümlerini yerine getirmekle yükümlüdür. Türkiye, Avrupa Birliği'ne katılmaya aday ülkeler arasındadır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada Avrupa Birliği’nin belirlediği hedefler doğrultusunda mevcut binaların enerji tüketimi ve CO2 emisyonlarının azaltılması incelenmiştir. Ayrıca Hükümetler Arası İklim Değişikliği Paneli’nde (IPCC) yirmi birinci yüzyılın sonunda küresel sıcaklıkların 1,1°C ile 6,4°C aralığında artacağını tahmin ettiğinden, bu çalışmada iklim değişikliği de dikkate alınmıştır. Çalışmada Avrupa Birliği’nin toplam CO2 emisyonu azaltma hedefle-rine ulaşmak için önlemler belirlenmiştir. Isparta'daki Toplu Konut İdaresi Başkanlığı (TOKİ) tarafından yaptırılan top-lu konut yerleşimi çalışma alanı olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu binaların ısıtma sistemlerinin iyileştirilmesi, bina kabuğu enerji performansının artırılması ve fotovoltaik paneller ile elektrik üretimi araştırılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda iklim değişikliği ve önlemlerin etkisi ile CO2 emisyonundaki değişimler incelenmiştir.
