Artvin Çoruh Üniversitesi ANG botanik bahçesi enerji ihtiyacının yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından karşılanabilmesi analizi
Historically, the work done with primitive and physical labor and the primary energy sources used have brought the necessity of using energy by transforming it into different forms with the development of technology today. Undoubtedly, where there is technology, electrical energy or primary energy sources that mobilize this technology come into play. The largest share among primary energy sources belongs to fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are also the main actors in electrical energy production. However, since they are non-renewable resources, their reserves are gradually decreasing. For this reason, alternative and renewable energy sources have become a priority agenda of governments around the world. In this study, within the scope of renewable energy use, Artvin Çoruh University ANG Botanical Garden campus, alternative, renewable resources for energy needs are discussed. In the study, three separate resource evaluations were made as wind energy, solar energy and the use of pruning waste as an energy source. It is aimed to create awareness for the evaluation of local and domestic resources as energy sources and to make investments in this direction. In the study, the electrical energy to be obtained from wind energy for Artvin province remained at very low levels with a value of 0,0845 kW per hour. The solar energy project was prepared in PVSOL simulation program. With the grid-connected system, a project that produces 1.218.340 kWh of energy annually to meet the energy needs of the center and pays for itself in 8,8 years has been obtained. Finally, elemental analysis was carried out for a mixed sample of pruning waste from various trees in the center. It was suggested that the annual tree pruning waste of around 3.500 kg could be utilized by incineration, and as an alternative, the 27 tons of annual food waste generated after lunch in all campuses could be used together to generate biogas energy by anaerobic digestion.

Water is the source of life and living things. It is a continuous value in a cycle between oceans, atmosphere and soil. Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered with water. Around 97.5% of the earth's water resources are seas and oceans, while glaciers, groundwater and surface water make up 2.5%. Among these, only 0.3% freshwater resources suitable for ecosystem and human use. Recognizing the vital role of water, a precious natural resource, it is crucial that individuals use it responsibly and avoid waste. The scarcity of freshwater and the expensive processes required to purify it have prompted innovative solutions. Consequently, many nations are exploring and prioritizing alternative water sources as a strategy for the sustainable management of their natural resources. Countries around the world should consider rainwater as an alternative to conserve water and make maximum use of it. Rainwater harvesting involves capturing and storing rainwater, along with any water that flows off surfaces during rainfall. Collecting water from collection areas such as roofs in urban buildings to meet domestic, industrial, agricultural and environmental demands is an extremely necessary saving measure due to the scarcity of water resources or simply to save water. In this way, water resources will be protected. In this thesis, the feasibility of rainwater harvesting for Artvin Çoruh University Central and Seyitler Campuses was investigated. The calculations and results show that when the rainwater harvesting system is applied for both campuses, the project pays its initial cost in 19 years, which means that the project is efficient.
