Abstract (EN)

Now days in all over the world; most of statehoods are applying energy efficiency regulations to the process of construction in their own countries beside regulate standards for historical and existing buildings in their borders. It seems necessary to use these codes to have a more sustainable life and help the future of our planet and posterity, to give them a chance for living in better condition. Regulating energy standards started in Scandinavian countries and developed through the technology in Germany and grew to all Europe and America. Faster and faster most countries started to regulate standards according to climatic changes and other factors in their own situation. Due to technological advances and update the knowledge about ways of using energy and a different source of energy efficiency standards for the building construction process, codes and standards started to adapt to new information and situation. Every day the number of countries which they are starting to apply energy regulations in their countries are increasing, but in-between there are some countries that still do not have any codes for energy efficiency, such as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. This theorem puts the author on to think about the preparing basic information in this field with the hope of having prepared a suitable standard for Northern Cyprus in the future. To reach this aim, many energy efficiency regulations in the building construction process have been studied, analyzed and compared. Similar standards have been found and studied in more detail; finding results of these analyzes are an attempt to find out the best energy method for TRNC. The aim of this research is to see what is the condition of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus currently, and what's missing as a background for applying any regulation in different parts of the construction process. This process has been divided into three parts as a design process, construction period and approval process. These divisions have bee done according to the different timing of building construction process to control the amount of energy used in the final product. To be energy efficient it is important to consider energy factors in design part, base of energy efficient design, building will be constructed and at the end level of energy efficiency success should be examined. For each section most suitable regulation is suggested to prepare needed information for regulators to have a clear view of the northern Cyprus case. Keyword: Energy efficiency, building construction process, design regulations, constricting regulations, energy measuring and labeling, and standards development.
