SIEMENS Türkiye Completes Energy Efficiency Project

Siemens Turkey, which designs its future vision by offering solutions that will increase the sustainability, energy efficiency and digital world adaptation of businesses in all sectors , has completed the Energy Efficiency Project within the scope of the "Energy Performance Agreement" with Eyüboğlu Educational Institutions, which aims to become a "Sustainable and Digital Campus."

As part of this collaboration , a solar power plant (SPP) and indoor and indoor pool automation systems have been installed at the Eyüboğlu Educational Institutions Burçak Eyüboğlu West Ataşehir Campus, achieving both renewable energy generation and energy savings. The energy generated from the SPP will meet the energy needs of the Eyüboğlu Educational Institutions Burçak Eyüboğlu West Ataşehir Campus, while the Sustainable and Digital Campus Project, implemented by Siemens Turkey, will generate 148 MWh of SPP energy annually and save 1,100 MWh of natural gas. This will prevent approximately 283 tons of carbon emissions annually.

Siemens Turkey continues to make significant contributions to the economy by supporting its customers and our country's carbon neutrality goals with specialized energy efficiency projects developed to meet the needs of various sectors. In this context, Siemens Turkey has added educational institutions to its energy performance contracts and completed its work with Eyüboğlu Educational Institutions, which aims to maintain a sustainable cycle and offer this vision to its students by keeping up with contemporary innovations. As part of the collaboration between Siemens Turkey and the institution, in addition to the energy efficiency solutions implemented at the Burçak Eyüboğlu campus in Ataşehir, fire detection and alarm systems, closed-circuit television (CCTV), and building automation systems were also installed at the Çamlıca campus, along with the DesigoCC building management system to manage all these systems from a single center.

Since our founding in 1970, we have placed sustainability at the center of our institutional strategies in education, the arts, social responsibility, and environmental awareness. In line with this understanding, the first phase of our solar panels, part of the "Sustainable Campus" collaboration we initiated with global technology giant Siemens, has been commissioned at Burçak Eyüboğlu Primary and Secondary School. This way, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint, but also educating future generations about environmental awareness and raising them to be well-equipped individuals in sustainability through our Siemens-Eyüboğlu certification programs. We extend our sincere gratitude to the entire Siemens management and team for their valuable contributions to this meaningful project.

Commenting on the collaboration, Siemens Turkey CEO Hüseyin Gelis emphasized the significant energy efficiency potential in Turkish educational institutions, saying, “Buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of global energy consumption. One of the biggest challenges for the education sector today is ensuring that campuses reduce carbon emissions. The collaboration with Eyüboğlu provides an excellent example for educational institutions developing a carbon reduction strategy to achieve their energy savings and sustainability goals. Our digital building solutions not only reduced Eyüboğlu's costs, but also helped them better manage their energy demand, while also enabling them to adapt their existing infrastructure to the latest technology.”

Siemens Turkey Smart Infrastructures Buildings Department Country Manager stated that they began the project by conducting sustainability analyses of the buildings and made the following statement regarding renewable resource investments: “At Burçak Eyüboğlu Primary and Secondary School, 47 percent of the consumption has begun to be provided by solar power plants. In the second phase of our project, many other projects such as fire detection, closed-circuit television (CCTV), digital services, and indoor pool air conditioning systems have been implemented. At the end of the project, in addition to the annual solar power plant energy production of 148 MWh, 1,000 MWh will be produced.” We've installed systems to conserve natural gas. This way, the educational institution generates energy through a solar power plant, while also reducing current energy consumption through room automation systems and equipping security systems with new technology. The investments made within the project will recoup their costs within three and a half years.
