Abstract
Turkey, which has great importance in the world energy market, has one of the world's fast-growing economies. Due to the rapidly increasing number of buildings and demand for higher living standards, urgent precautions are needed to increase the energy efficiency in the buildings in Turkey. The use of energy standards is expected to increase in Turkey and therefore programs that would complement and increase the existing standards should be introduced. Major cities can play an important role in enhancing energy efficiency. These efforts will have a positive long-term effect on Turkey's economic and social development. In the present study, selecting a sample architectural plan ;, the yearly energy needs and the optimal yearly amounts to be used when using different types of fuel were calculated based on the wall cross-section of the architectural project selected in accordance with 4 different degree-day regions in Turkey, and the yearly heating expenses for different types of fuel were determined.
