新华财经伊斯坦布尔1月11日电（记者许万虎）土耳其能源效率协会主席艾哈迈德·埃尔德姆近日表示， 土耳其能源效率领域投资在过去二十年持续增长，累计规模已达约35亿美元，能源效率正成为增强经济 韧性、保障能源安全的重要支点。 据介绍，建筑领域约占土耳其能源消费总量的三分之一。尽管近年冬季气候条件与以往相近，但2025年 居民用电量同比增长12%，天然气消费量增长6%。 为遏制能耗上升趋势，土耳其已更新国家建筑保温标准，将新建建筑的热性能要求提高一倍。按官方评 估，新标准下建成的建筑能耗较旧标准将下降约30%。 为支撑产业转型，土耳其还加大专业人才培养力度，已通过能源审计、项目设计和绩效核查等项目培养 超过1.3万名能源专业人员。 土耳其提出到2053年实现净零排放目标。埃尔德姆强调，能源效率在实现这一目标过程中发挥关键作 用。"能源效率是最清洁、最具成本优势的能源形式，今天的投入将决定未来的可持续增长能力。"他 说。 （文章来源：新华财经） 在公共部门方面，政府要求建筑面积超过1万平方米的新建公共建筑必须取得国家绿色建筑认证。埃尔 德姆表示，公共部门节能举措已累计节省能源支出约26亿里拉（约合6040万美元）。 ...
