Energy Efficiency in Marmara University

The campus incorporates various systems that contribute to a “GREEN” building. In this context, the focus was on ensuring energy efficiency, heating and cooling systems were designed centrally, and high-efficiency devices were preferred. Additionally, thermal insulation systems were used in buildings. It is powered with LED bulbs and lighting systems to increase energy efficiency and meet the lighting needs in buildings with minimum consumption. Buildings are designed to benefit from natural light. In addition, it is aimed to produce energy with approximately 1.763 kWp photovoltaic solar panels placed on building roofs. The campus will produce most of its own energy with solar energy, which is renewable energy.

Marmara University is implementing various plans and projects to upgrade its existing buildings to higher energy efficiency. These are as follows:

• Thermal Insulation
• High Efficiency Devices
• LED Lighting
• Photovoltaic Solar Panels
• Natural Light Usage
• Energy Management Unit
• Earthquake Resistance and Energy Efficiency Project
• Energy Saving Targets
• Green Energy Certificate
• Education and Awareness Raising

Photovoltaic solar panels have been installed on the building roofs. The campus aims to produce most of its own energy with solar energy, which is a renewable energy.

 

Wind Energy and Virtual Experience Center

As an indicator of Marmara University's commitment to innovation and renewable energy, the 'Wind Energy and Virtual Experience Center' was established in cooperation with Nordex Enerji A.Ş. The center, enables students to gain knowledge and experience in wind energy Technologies and offers students practical experiences with a wind turbine prototype, virtual reality applications, simulations and interactive educational materials. The establishment of this center not only demonstrates the determination and high awareness of our university in the field of innovation and renewable energy, both also shows that our universities pioneering role in sustainability besides education and research. Energy production is also carried out using wind turbines on the roofs of some units at Marmara University.

It is aimed to increase energy efficiency by making thermal insulation in buildings.

Being aware of our environmental responsibilities, our university has been awarded the Green Energy Certificate in order to encourage the use of green energy and contribute to sustainable energy resources.

Earthquake Resistance and Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings (SREEPB)

The Göztepe Campus Ord. Prof. Nihad Sayar Building (School of Foreign Languages), Engineering Faculty A Building, Technical Education Faculty (Mechatronics) and Atatürk Education Faculty (Main Building) Buildings, for which a reinforcement project was prepared within the scope of the project, were acquired. The project, signed between the Republic of Turkey and the World Bank on 07.09.2021, is guaranteed by the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, and its implementation is carried out by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change. The tender process of the work included in the investment program within the scope of this project is about to be completed. Our university continues the necessary work with determination to increase the structural performance of its buildings with low earthquake resistance and to minimize the risk against the expected Istanbul Earthquake. Energy efficiency application will be carried out in the said buildings within the scope of the Earthquake Resistance and Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings Project (KADEV) in 2024.
