Özet:
The main objective of this study is to
develop a methodology by using the actual data of residential natural gas
consumption in order to compare the efficiency levels of the three different
residential heating systems. Such comparison is considered crucial to support
better policy-making. Since final consumers are the subscribers of natural gas
distribution companies regulated by Energy Market Regulatory Authority of
Turkey, natural gas distribution market conditions and related regulations are
taken into the account while developing the methodology. This is also expected
that the methodology would be useful for similar studies for different natural
gas distrubition regions of Turkey. Apartments constitute a larger share of
Turkeys housing stock. Three residential heating systems prevail in most of
these apartment blocks: standalone heating systems (individual unit based),
central heating systems (block based) and district heating systems
(neighborhood based). In this research, apartment blocks with these three
different heating systems are examined in order to compare energy efficiency of
and carbon dioxide emissions from their heating systems. Natural gas based
residential heating systems are particularly dealt with due to data
availability and extensive use. Results of the comparative analysis are applied
to citywide housing stock data so as to find out the potential emission
reductions in case widespread use of central and district heating systems are
achieved in cities of Turkey. Key Words: energy efficiency, climate change,
carbon dioxide emissions, residential heating systems, natural gas distribution,
