Abstract:

Considering the buildings responsible for most of the energy consumption in the world, the energy, efficient design of new buildings and the revision of existing buildings for this purpose is a fairly current issue all over the world, especially in the EU. For this reason, European Countries published "The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive in Buildings" in 2002 and announced what would be work to be done in this regard. Energy Performance Regulations in Buildings were announced in our country in 2008. With this regulation, it is aimed to make high performance and low emission buildings, to build know-how, to reduce external dependence to introduce domestic and renewable energy sources and to make necessary studies in order to protect the environment. The purpose of the BEP Regulation is to classify buildings in terms of primary energy and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to determine minimum energy performance requirements for existing buildings to be renovated in a new and important way to control heating and cooling systems to limit greenhouse gas emissions and to regulate the protection of the environment. The national calculation program for the preparation of the Energy Identity Certificate, an integral part of this Directive, has begun on 1 January 2011 for the implementation of the Bep-Tr software. This document is prepared by ECB experts for all existing and new buildings. ECB experts composed of Professional disciplines (architect, civil engineer, mechanical engineer, electrical and electronic engineer) who are involved in building design according to the regulation have authority to give Energy Identity Certificate. The Ministry has prepared the second software of the Bep-Tr, which is in application from the year 2011 until today, along with the sector feedbacks and the developing technology. In this study, the availability of the first national software Bep-Tr 1 program and the nature of the application of the Energy Identity Certificate were evaluated. In this context, deficiencies and problems in the use of the program have been identified in interviews with ECB (Energy Identity Certificate) experts operating in the province of Trabzon. Based on the results obtained from these interviews, the usability of the Bep-Tr1 program was examined and suggestions for existing problems were presented.
