Due to limited fossil energy resources, countries are forced to turn to alternative energy resources and develop policies for efficient and effective use of energy.

If we evaluate the importance of energy based on our country,

The ratio of energy imports to national income is about 11 percent in the last quarter of 2023. Energy diversification strategies have been developed to reduce this ratio, and some legal regulations have been made to use energy more effectively and efficiently.

Izmir Institute of Technology acts with the awareness that for the sustainable economic, social and environmental development of our country, the policy of diversifying our energy resources, which are our most crucial national wealth, should continue to increase and that effective energy management is required for the efficient utilisation of these energy resources.

The students and staff of Izmir Institute of Technology are striving to raise awareness about energy efficiency in our campus’s indoor and outdoor areas.

In this direction, the Izmir Institute of Technology;

• Establish an administrative structure that makes decisions for more efficient use of energy,
• Achieve the targeted energy-saving rate by acting in accordance with energy efficiency legislation,
• Energy-efficient procurement of suitable products for all academic and administrative work,
• Following and implementing new studies and technologies developed in the field of energy efficiency,
• Utilising the necessary resources and information in its energy efficiency efforts and collaborating with its internal and external stakeholders,
• Provide holistic and effective management to measure and evaluate the savings and efficiency achieved through the activities carried out with a continuous improvement approach,
• Create added value for the national economy and the environment by ensuring energy efficiency and savings without compromising the quality of services and the quality of life of those involved.

At IZTECH, we have a policy adopted by the Senate that is about the more effective and innovative use and management of energy resources.
