Abstract:
The most crucial issue that urgently needs to be addressed for the problems of global warming and the greenhouse effect is carbon emissions. Carbon emissions are extensively generated throughout all stages of the building life cycle, from material production to building design and operation. Therefore, it is essential to rapidly develop and adopt low-carbon design methods. The aim of this study is to identify the challenges faced by Turkey in the transition to low-carbon energy, prioritize these challenges, and highlight the key factors of strategic importance for the effective implementation of energy policies. In the initial phase of the study, challenges in transitioning to low-carbon energy were classified through a literature review, and criteria were established. Subsequently, these criteria were compared through a focus group study. Binary comparison results were then used to obtain an equation based on weighting through the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method, determining the challenges in Turkey's energy sector and their priorities for transitioning to low-carbon energy. The findings are crucial for understanding and producing strategic solutions to the obstacles in achieving energy-efficient transitions in Turkey. Furthermore, the results of the study encompass insights for transitioning to high-energy performance buildings. The analyses conducted to identify the key factors in Turkey's transition to low-carbon energy are strategically important for ensuring the effective implementation of energy policies. The outcomes of this study will serve as a valuable guide for policymakers and industry experts to comprehend and address the difficulties encountered in Turkey's energy transformation.
