7.5. Low-Carbon Energy Use

Istanbul Gelişim University prioritizes increasing the use of low-carbon sources in energy management and reducing dependence on fossil fuels in line with its sustainability goals. In this context, the rate of use of renewable and environmentally friendly energy technologies is regularly monitored and reported each year.

7.5.1. Low-Carbon Energy Use

IGU aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the use of low-carbon sources in energy management. The university regularly monitors and reports energy consumption data to measure its environmental impact and strengthen its sustainability strategies. In this context, the low-carbon energy usage data for 2024 is presented below:



Figure 1. Energy Consumption Distribution in 2024

In 2024, the university's total energy consumption was 24.865,005 GJ, and 65% of this amount, corresponding to 16.284,291 GJ, was supplied from low-carbon energy sources. When this consumption amount is compared to the university's total enclosed area of 269.160 m², the low-carbon energy usage intensity is calculated as 0,0605 GJ/m².
