Focus on: Antalya
Antalya is the 5th biggest city of Turkey, with 2,6 million population and one of the main tourist attraction points in the region with a significant number of tourists visiting the city each year quadrupling the number of people specifically during summer times.
Together with its characteristic climate, this has a huge impact on its energy demand and consumption scheme. Based on the latest available data (2019), the total amount of energy consumed by the city equals 28,623,531 MWh.
Turkey has begun to align with the European legislation on buildings thanks to the Building Energy Performance (BEP) Regulation, which envisages the use of district heating and/or renewable energy.

SOLUTIONS IMPLEMENTED1. New constructions
Private residential buildings in Kepez Santral District
- Eight residential buildings with a total of 534 flats were built according to the current construction standards. The buildings will have high-performance envelopes through insulation, low u-value glazing, and energy-efficient lighting.
- The apartments will be provided with home domotics, controls and smart meters.
Public tertiary buildings with a minimum energy rating of B
The solutions installed are:
- High performance building envelope (insulation and glazing).
- Advanced lighting and control systems.
- High performance HVAC systems.
- Heat recovery ventilation systems.
- Occupancy control.
SOLUTIONS IMPLEMENTED 2. Smart Controls and BEMS

The PV system is integrated into the transportation hub within Kepez District and also Antalya Metropolitan Municipality building in Muratpaşa District.
The systems can generate 552 MWh/yr electricity annually and the energy produced will be used for charging stations and lighting.
The extra energy from the PV system is stored and can co-supply charging stations and/or share of quarters’ energy demand.

Antalya is the first municipality in Turkey to produce and store its own electricity through an "Energy Storage System", a solar energy power plant.
The Department of Energy Management in Antalya Metropolitan Municipality monitors and controls the smart energy systems.

The new-born Kepez Santral
Kepez Santral district was declared a “risky area” for earthquake hazards in 2014. Additionally, due to unplanned urbanization, citizens could not benefit from public services (transportation, health, education facilities, accessibility, etc.).
The 1,3 million square meters of the residential area were rebuilt. A survey with the residents was conducted, and it showed that the comfort level of the buildings has increased and the energy savings have been achieved compared to the past. Furthermore, smart interventions are an example to encourage citizens to invest in energy efficiency. Citizens are informed and involved in smart control devices and getting feedback from them.

BONUS TRACKWhy should a smart city invest in agriculture?
Antalya enjoys a mild and sunny climate for most of the year and has over 17,900 hectors of farmland.
As such, it has turned to solar energy to water its vast countryside, making life easier for farmers and for residents too, who can access good food at lower prices.
