7.4.3. Energy Efficiency Services for Industry

IGU supports various academic and research projects aimed at providing consulting, training, and awareness services to industry in the field of energy efficiency. Within this scope, studies are conducted to both promote the use of energy-saving technologies and to disseminate applications that will reduce carbon emissions. The table below shows an example of one of the projects supported by the university:

Project Name: Awareness Research on Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Solar Panel Use Enlighten the Future, Lighten the Carbon Footprint

Proje Content: Nowadays, as the climate crisis deepens, the use of renewable energy sources is critical to reducing carbon footprints. Solar panels stand out as an effective method for achieving this goal. The study examined the relationship between individuals' carbon footprint and solar panel usage while assessing their awareness levels. An online survey was conducted with students from the Faculty of Applied Sciences; data were analyzed using the KMO test and Cronbach Alpha, using the SPSS 25.0 program.

Results and Contributions: The research findings indicate that the use of solar panels is effective in reducing the carbon footprint. This study also directly aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals 7 (“Affordable and Clean Energy”) and 13 (“Climate Action”). The results obtained are intended to raise awareness of the potential of solar panel technology increasing energy efficiency in industrial and production facilities, and to serve as a basis for consulting, training, as well as application projects for the sectors. The project was supported by the IGU BAP Coordination.
