greenhouse gas emitted as a result of an activity or process associated with a
product, service or region. The carbon footprint account is one of the most
interesting researches in recent years. In this study, the optimal choice of
the tilt angle for the solar panels in order to collect the maximum solar
irradiation is investigated in order to reduce the carbon footprint in West
Mediterranean Region of Turkey. </span> </i> </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy Üniversitesi}
