Energy efficiency is one of the most prominent global challenges of our era. Heritage buildings usually have a poor energy performance, not necessarily because of their intrinsic constructive features but due to their mostly dilapidated condition owed to age and previous damage, exacerbated by other factors such as the limited maintenance allowed by the restrictive legal framework and/or residents not being able to afford retrofit. On both national and international levels, energy efficiency measures are considered the key to answering the global challenge of climate change. This article aims to provide a critical discussion of the policy framework for energy retrofitting targeting built heritage in the UK and in Turkey. To this end, the development of guidance and legislation on cultural heritage, energy efficiency and climate change in both countries were thoroughly reviewed, and the retrofit incentives and constraints were determined in order to identify existing policy gaps and potential problems with implementation in the realm of energy retrofitting and climate resiliency of heritage buildings. As a result of a critical comparative analysis, the paper is concluded with suggestions on policy frames for the retrofitting of heritage buildings for improved energy efficiency.

Bioelectricity Generation From Wastewater Sludge Using Microbial Fuel Cells: A Critical Review Ömeroğlu, Seçil; Sanin, Faika Dilek (Wiley, 2016-09-01) Today, the majority of the world's energy is provided by fossil fuels. Natural energy resources soon will be consumed as a result of rising energy needs of the growing population, leading to a global energy crisis. The insecurity in the energy market also affects the global economy negatively and forces the governments to investigate renewable energy alternatives such as bioenergy. Bioenergy technologies can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions significantly and can serve to satisfy many forms of energy de...
Design, construction and performance evaluation of a centrifugal pump for an energy efficient dishwasher Turgul, Doruk; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015) Energy efficiency has become one of the most important concerns of the world recently. Rate of decrease of energy resources have been accelerated due to increased population and unconscious consumption. As a result, energy efficient new generation products are on the agenda for environmental issues. Furthermore, the more efficient the product, the less costly it consumes energy. Hence, people are encouraged to use energy efficient products which enables them to save more money. In addition, it has become ob...
Transformation pathways and fate of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in distinct interactive environmental compartments: A review Abbas, Qumber; Yousaf, Balal; Amina, Amina; Ali, Muhammad Ubaid; Munir, Mehr Ahmed Mujtaba; El-Naggar, Ali; Rinklebe, Joerg; Naushad, Mu (Elsevier BV, 2020-05-01) The ever increasing production and use of nano-enabled commercial products release the massive amount of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in the environment. An increasing number of recent studies have shown the toxic effects of ENPs on different organisms, raising concerns over the nano-pollutants behavior and fate in the various environmental compartments. After the release of ENPs in the environment, ENPs interact with various components of the environment and undergoes dynamic transformation processes. T...
Energy performance of smart buildings: simulating the impact of active systems and passive strategies Tetik, Buğra; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2014) Energy efficiency is one of the most important attempts in the world because of various environmental, economical and developmental aspects of energy. In this context, energy performance of buildings has been a critical issue since buildings constitute approximately half of total energy consumption. The concept of smart building which has been attractive recently, contributes to the issue with smart technologies; while some passive design techniques which have been used throughout the history are still appl...
Optimal and implementable transmission schemes for energy harvesting networks Özçelik, Fatih Mehmet; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) Progress in energy harvesting technology and the increasing need for the energy efficient and environmentally friendly applications have called for reconsideration of communication systems. This reconsideration results in new problem formulations regarding the recent developments on energy harvesting systems. Recently, optimal strategies for various types of energy harvesting networks have been developed based on different harvesting models. This thesis reports the results of our research to develop the opt...
