The objective of the project is to enhance MENR’s capacity for planning and implementation, measurement and monitoring on energy efficient heating and cooling sector.

The expected outputs of the project are as follows:

• MENR’ s national strategy and guidelines are prepared,
• Monitoring system for data collection for heating and cooling is established.

The project is expected to enable a smooth transition towards more efficient, low-carbon and affordable heating and cooling supply throughout Türkiye by:

• creating sustainable data collection and monitoring systems for heating and cooling,
• conducting site visits, workshops, trainings and other visibility and awareness raising activities with both professionals and residents to increase the consciousness level of the society,
• preparing feasibility studies across different regions of Türkiye to find the most suitable method to heat and cool the buildings and establishments to identify heating and cooling potential,
• enabling sector coupling with electrification, energy storage and renewable energy sources by revealing synergies between heat and electrical energies through impact assessments, analyses including energy audits and surveys and with the guidance documents and road maps which are expected to be produced under the Project that will help to fill the gaps in existing policy and legislative documents.

In this regard, the first result of the project aims at preparation of draft national strategy document and guidelines on heating and cooling by analysing and assessing the Turkish heating and cooling sector through field research surveys and energy audits, trainings and workshops.

Alongside with conducted studies, the second result of the project aims at developing a digital data collection and monitoring software and establishment of a monitoring system, and raising awareness through communication and visibility activities, and dissemination of promotional materials.
