The Importance of Using Photovoltaic Panels (PV) in Buildings in the Corporate Environmental Responsibility of Local Governments

Abstract

Corporate social responsibility is composed of strategic goals for institutions that will stand out in a competitive environment and strengthen their corporate image. Corporate environmental responsibility, which is the subtitle, requires the organization to determine strategies that are environmentally conscious and to be sensitive to the life and living environment by reducing carbon emissions. As most energy consumption is in the buildings, the most important environmental steps of the institutions are to save energy in their buildings. With this study, the use of PV panels with solar and PV panels, which are among the alternative renewable energies, will be examined. As the corporate environmental responsibility develops in local government buildings every year, the effect of PV panels on the building form and the energy savings they provide will be analyzed within the scope of this study. The PV panels, which can be integrated into the existing building design and newly built buildings according to the form of the buildings, are evaluated over the climate, region, solar radiation and the total area covered on the building.
