Renewable Energy Resources Will Be Used in New Buildings

Prepared by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change “Regulation on Amending the Regulation on Energy Performance in Buildings” Official newspaperPublished in .

With the new regulation, it provides more energy efficiency compared to normal buildings and in addition, some of the energy it uses renewable energy from the resources “Nearly Zero Energy Buildings” concept will be introduced. The gradual transition to the energy-efficient building concept compulsory reported to be made.

Buildings that are not designed according to the regulation will not be licensed.

As stated in the new regulation, as of January 1, 2023, all buildings with a total construction area of ​​more than 5 thousand square meters in a parcel will now have energy performance. at least ‘B’ class will be made. In addition, the energy used by these buildingsless than 5 percentIt will become mandatory to obtain a portion of the .

Accordingly, with the increase of the minimum energy performance, which is still in the ‘C’ class, to the ‘B’ class, the thickness of the insulation materials used in thermal insulation is increased. at least two centimetres will be increased. After this change, the minimum thermal insulation material thicknesses are less than 5 centimeters in Istanbul. 7-8 centimeters, and in Ankara from 6 centimeters 8-9 will be rearranged to increase to centimeters. On the other hand, the thermal insulation values ​​of the windows used in the buildings will also be improved.

As for the projects of buildings that are not designed according to the regulation, as of January 1, 2023. permit will not be edited.
