Our university became the first university among the public universities in Turkey to receive the Energy Management System Certificate issued by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE). The ceremony held for the document protocol at the Rectorate Meeting Hall was attended by our Rector Prof. Dr. Cem Zorlu and TSE President Mahmut Sami Şahin attended. Our Rector Prof. Dr. Cem Zorlu said that TSE is a strategic organization and stated that we are the first university among the state universities to receive the TSE EN ISO 50001 Energy Management System Certificate. Our Rector Prof. noted that energy supply is one of the important problems in the world. Dr. Cem Zorlu said, “Our energy resources are decreasing and becoming expensive. Our energy consumption is increasing. The biggest contribution we can make at this point is to use the energies we have efficiently. This means a great contribution to the environment, society and our economy. "Just as we try to comply with some saving measures regarding energy efficiency at home, we, as a university, have made it a goal to contribute to our country at this point," he said. Stating that TSE is the only authorized organization that determines standards in Turkey, TSE President Mahmut Şahin explained that they provide certification services to increase the quality levels of institutions, especially industrial organizations. Şahin said, "Necmettin Erbakan University applied to TSE upon the study conducted on the TSE EN ISO 50001 certification system, especially in the field of energy efficiency, and was entitled to receive this certificate after the necessary inspections were carried out by expert teams." Emphasizing that energy costs are increasing day by day, Şahin stated that energy consumption is increasing in parallel with the development of industry in Turkey. Şahin stated that as people's standard of living increases, the use of electrical devices also increases, and said: “Work is being carried out in order to use energy more efficiently, especially in our public institutions. At this point, TSE EN ISO 50001 certification reveals a system for determining the energy policies of our institutions and in this sense, using energy more efficiently and providing savings. With this study conducted at Necmettin Erbakan University, we see that an all-out effort has been initiated to update energy policies and reduce energy expenses. We think that this will make a serious contribution to the economy and the environment. Energy resources are depleting around the world due to climate change. "With this work, it is also possible to use energy and public resources more efficiently.
