Özet
The energy requirement of developing countries such as Turkey increase every single year. The energy consumption of this country is divided into four main sectors: industrial, residential, transportation and agriculture. The residential sector accounts for 33% of used energy. Uninsulated old buildings, as well as inadequate insulation in new construction poses massive economic burden to this country, forcing it to over-rely on fuels from abroad.
