“…The needs and opportunities with regards to the policy concerning, e.g. energy production, which, according to study results, has a significant impact on pollutant emissions in particular countries, are also very different [49][50][51]. Therefore, the air pollution levels and the pollutant structure differ significantly [52,53].…”

The article presents the results of a study aiming to select the optimal source of heat for a newly designed single-family home. Commercial software was used to compare heating and ventilation systems involving a bituminous coal boiler, a condensing gas boiler, a biomass boiler, a heat pump with water and glycol as heat transfer media. The effectiveness of natural ventilation, mechanical ventilation with a ground-coupled heat exchanger, and solar heater panels for water heating were evaluated. The analysis was based on the annual demand for useful energy, final energy, and non-renewable primary energy in view of the pollution output of the evaluated heating systems. The analysis revealed that the heat pump with water and glycol was the optimal solution. However, the performance of the heat pump in real-life conditions was below its maximum theoretical efficiency. The biomass boiler contributed to the highest reduction in pollutant emissions (according to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Change guidelines, carbon dioxide emissions have zero value), but it was characterized by the highest demand for final energy. Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery was required in all analyzed systems to achieve optimal results. The introduction of mechanical ventilation decreased the demand for final energy by 10% to around 40% relative to the corresponding heating systems with natural ventilation.

“…Yeni önerdikleri modelde, farklı teknolojiler için tüm üretim maliyetlerini ve bunlardan kaynaklanan karbondioksit, kükürt dioksit, azot oksitler ve partikül madde gibi kirletici gazların emisyon risklerini içerir. Çalışmada, sonuç olarak, Avrupa enerji karışımındaki yenilenebilir enerji teknolojilerinin payını artırmak ve çevresel etkiyi azaltmak için rüzgar enerjisinin mümkün olduğunca teşvik etme ihtiyacını göstermektedir [11]. Kon O. ve Caner İ. çalışmalarında, Avrupa'dan seçilen 20 başkent için soğutma döneminde; kömür, doğalgaz ve fuel-oil enerji kaynakları ile güç santrallerinde üretimi yapılan elektriğin binalarda tüketimi ile atmosfere salınacak CO2 ve SO2 emisyonları araştırmışlardır [12].…”

Çalışmada, ilk olarak Türk yalıtım standardı TS 825’e göre dört iklim bölgesini temsilen seçilen; İzmir, Manisa, Afyon ve Kastamonu illerindeki binaların elektrik enerji tüketimi hesaplanmıştır. Bunun için örnek alınmış binanın elektrik enerjisi tüketimi hesaplanmıştır. Bina enerji tüketimi hesaplanırken cam türleri olarak, tek cam, çift cam, yalıtımlı cam ve üçlü cam olması dikkate alınmıştır. İkinci olarak, tüketimi yapılan bu elektriğin enerjinin santrallerinde üretiminde meydana gelecek CO2 ve NOx emisyonları tespit edilmiştir. Daha sonra bu emisyonların bertaraf edilmesi için sosyal emisyon maliyetleri hesaplanmıştır. Son olarak 2030, 2040 ve 2050 yılları için farklı iskonto oranlarına bağlı sosyal emisyon maliyetleri için öngörülerde bulunulmuştur. Enerji santrallerinin elektrik üretirken kömür ve doğal gaz kullandıkları kabul edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, CO2 emisyonu için en yüksek sosyal emisyon maliyeti kömür kullanan enerji santrallerinde 2050 yılı ve % 2.5 iskonto oranında, dördüncü iklim bölgesindeki Kastamonu ilinde ve tek camlı pencerelere sahip binalarda 7092.089 $ ve en düşük ise doğal gaz kullanan enerji santrallerinde birinci iklim bölgesindeki İzmir ilinde yalıtım camlı pencerelere sahip binalarda, 2030 yılı ve % 5 iskonto oranında 98.7 $ olarak hesaplanmıştır. NOx emisyonu için sosyal emisyon maliyeti en yüksek doğal gaz kullanan enerji santrallerinde, 2050 yılı ve % 2.5 iskonto oranında, 958.1 $ ve en düşük ise kömür kullanan enerji santrallerinde, 2050 yılı ve % 2.5 iskonto oranında, dördüncü iklim bölgesindeki Kastamonu ilinde ve tek camlı pencerelere sahip binalarda 20.1 $ olarak tespit edilmiştir.

In this study, firstly, for the building envelope properties of a reference building from TS 825 insulation standard, for 20 capitals selected from Europe, the minimum insulation thicknesses are calculated with different heat transmission coefficients depending on the requirements and/or recommendations thermal transmittance values in the building envelope such as building walls, roofs, floors. Then, CO 2 and SO 2 emissions, which will be produced by the consumption of coal, natural gas, and fuel-oil fuels, depending on the heating degree-day values and the thermal transmittance values of the building envelope, are investigated for the 20 selected capitals. In the cooling period, depending on the cooling degree-days and the thermal transmittance values of the building envelope, the electricity consumption and the CO 2 and SO 2 emissions to be released for the coal, natural gas, and fuel oil used in the production of electricity in the power plants are determined. The place of Ankara, the capital of our country, among the selected capitals in European countries has been examined. It has been calculated that Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina, has the highest fuel consumption and the highest CO 2 and SO 2 emissions for three building components and three fuel types for heating. In the study, the highest thermal transmittance value recommended for floor was found to be Athens with 1.90 W/m 2 .K. Accordingly, it has been determined that the highest electricity consumption for cooling and the highest associated CO 2 and SO 2 emission values occur in Athens, the capital of Greece.Cite this article as: Kon O, Caner İ.
