In the training, the credits in all categories in the new version of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, which is the most preferred green building evaluation system of the world, will be examined in detail and information about LEED Certification process and reference standards are given.
In the scope of the training that will be given by the specialist LEED APs in the green building projects in ERKE, The ERKE Green Academy building will also be exhibited with the trainers.
Participants will find opportunities to see green materials on-site at the ERKE Green Academy and learn about systems and products. In addition to theoretical training, it also provides opportunities for on-site visibility of practices as the training is carried out in a platinum-certified green building.
The training is also a preparation for the LEED Green Associate (LEED GA) and LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP) exams for those who wish to become green building specialists.
The energy consumption in buildings varies according to many parameters starting from the orientation of the building. In order to maximize benefits in terms of energy in these variables, it is necessary to make the right decisions starting from the design phase of the building.
Daylight analysis, which is the indispensable part of sustainable buildings, analyzes design decisions that directly affect building energy consumption such as building orientation, building form and shading. Furthermore, when the comfort of building users is considered, natural lighting and glare analysis are designed to make living spaces more comfortable. Thus, buildings with high energy efficiency and interior quality are designed.
The followings will be examined under Ecotect daylight analysis training, which will be provided by LEED APs who have been involved in green building projects within ERKE:
- Building orientation in the direction of climate data,
- Environmental building shading analysis,
- Determination of location and size of facade openings,
- Analysis of indoor daylight data
The training includes awareness of employees about climate change for all institutions and organizations as well as knowledge on corporate carbon management, Greenhouse Gas Emission Monitoring Plan and Monitoring Report Preparation.
The first step involves what climate change is and reflects on the world and economic sectors in Turkey. In addition, general information on Turkey´s position in the international climate change challenge is given.
Secondly, basic greenhouse gas emission information is given as concepts of greenhouse gas emissions, resources and carbon footprint. Later, detailed information is given on the acquis and obligations related to greenhouse gas emissions, which are particularly relevant to the private sector in Turkey.
In this context, creating detailed report of a monitoring plan, carbon footprint calculation, how to report greenhouse gas emissions and reporting standards (ISO 14064, greenhouse gas protocol, etc.) are explained. Furthermore, data collection for carbon footprint calculation and points that organizations should take note of in reporting are included in the training.
Finally, it is explained the opportunities created for the private sector by climate change struggling and what needs to be done to benefit from these opportunities.
The training’s main titles are:
1. Climate Change Concept and Causes
2. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Carbon Footprint Concepts
3. Legal Amendments Related to Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Turkey
4. Corporate Carbon Management in Struggling with Climate Change
5. Creating a Monitoring Plan
6. Calculation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
7. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting
8. Points to be Considered in Data Collection and Reporting
9. Opportunities for the Private Sector
Training is planned for all organizations and their employees. It aims to enable institutions to have a climate-friendly structure by integrating what they learn, such as what climate change is, risks brought to institutions and methods of struggle.
The first step involves what climate change is and reflects on the world and economic sectors in Turkey. In addition, general information on Turkey´s position in the international climate change challenge is given.
Secondly, it provides information on the legal, economic and physical risks that climate change presents for institutions, as well as information on how to deal with these risks. It is aimed managers to take into consideration the risks in the annual management plans.
Later, carbon footprint calculation and carbon management methods are explained. Furthermore, data collection for carbon footprint calculation and points that organizations should take note of in reporting are included in the training.
Finally, it is explained the opportunities created for the private sector by climate change struggling and what needs to be done to benefit from these opportunities.
The training’s main titles are:
1. Climate Change Concept and Causes
2. The Effects of Climate Change (Economic Sectors)
3. Climate Change Fighting Plans: World and Turkey
4. Legal Changes to Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Turkey
5. Physical, Legal and Economic Risks of Climate Change
6. Climate Change and Institutional Struggle and Carbon Management
7. Corporate Greenhouse Gas Calculations
8. Opportunities for Private Sector Organizations
