EFFICIENCY UNVEILED: A CASE STUDY ON ENERGY AND WATER CONSUMPTION ANALYSIS IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING
Halil Yousef , Faculty of Architecture. Department of Architecture, Eastern Mediterranean University, Mersin, TurkeyAbstract
This study presents an analysis of energy and water consumption in an apartment building through a comprehensive case study. The objective is to assess the patterns and trends of energy and water usage, identify potential areas of improvement, and propose strategies for increased efficiency and sustainability. Data on energy consumption, water usage, and relevant building characteristics are collected and analyzed. The findings provide valuable insights into the current consumption patterns, highlight areas of high energy and water usage, and quantify the potential for energy and water savings. The study emphasizes the importance of energy and water management in residential buildings and provides recommendations for optimizing resource utilization and reducing environmental impact.
