2002 [49]
Heat insulation has a big energy saving potential, but in Turkey this saving is so less than
how much it should be. According to the calculations for 400,000 buildings, it was found that
the saving could be 1,220,000,000$ in 2005, considering that the buildings which have taken
licence since 2000 have been built according to the regulations [165].
The energy efficiency of Turkish industrial sector and energy and exergy efficiencies of
Turkish residential-commercial sectors are mentioned above, but it is difficult to find studies
about the energy efficiency of Turkish tertiary sector. The reason of that is that energy
consumption of the tertiary sector is so less than the energy consumption of industrial and
residential sectors.
2.4 Renew able Ene rgy E vo l u ti on
The total renewable energy production and consumption of Turkey are equal to each other,
varying between 9.6 and 10.8 million tons of oil equivalent (toe) each for the 1992-1999
period (Table 60) [141]. Their share in total energy production varies on average between
37% and 43%, while in total consumption, it varies between 15% and 22% for the same
period. Among the production of renewables, biomass that includes wood and dung is the
