Due to the large number of buildings, energy consumption in the university campuses of Turkey may tend to increase over time. In this context, their potential energy savings need to be explored. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate energy savings in university campuses by applying different energy-efficient measures with simulation-based analysis. To do that, four buildings from the Balıkesir University campus were the focus of the present study. The energy billing data were used to calibrate and adjust the simulation models produced from the DesignBuilder software. The results showed that an energy reduction of over 60% in the examined buildings is possible with proper energy-efficient solutions, which is considered very effective. This means that the findings demonstrate a high potential for campus building retrofitting with passive, active and combined strategies. The energy-saving potentials calculated for each building can guide university authorities to determine feasible energy-saving techniques for buildings with large energy conservation potential and forecast future retrofitting planning development in campuses.

土耳其大学校园的节能潜力研究

由于建筑物数量众多，土耳其大学校园的能源消耗可能会随着时间的流逝而增加。在这种情况下，需要探索其潜在的节能效果。因此，本文的目的是通过基于仿真的分析方法，采用不同的节能措施来研究大学校园的节能情况。为此，本研究的重点是来自Balıkesir大学校园的四栋建筑。能源账单数据用于校准和调整从DesignBuilder软件生成的仿真模型。结果表明，采用适当的节能解决方案，可以使被检查建筑物的能耗降低60％以上，这被认为是非常有效的。这意味着研究结果显示了采用被动，主动和组合策略进行校园建筑翻新的巨大潜力。为每座建筑物计算的节能潜力可以指导大学当局确定具有巨大节能潜力的建筑物的可行节能技术，并预测校园内未来的改造规划发展。
