Building Energy Performance (BEP-TR) as a Calculation Methodology: Comparison with other Energy Certification

Abstract

In this study, differences between BEP-TR National Building Energy Performance Calculation Methodology and the widely used environnıental assessment methods for buildings are investigated. Parameters as paths taken in the calculations, priorities, energy classifications through the simulation tools of the methods are evaluated. The most appropriate system or implementation for Turkey is mentioned along the comparison of these assessments in terms of energy classifications. The necessity of an energy performance calculation methodology is emphasized according tolocal properties and preconditions.
