OSTİM Organized Industrial Zone Regional Manager Adem Arıcı described the general characteristics of OSTİM and the building. Stating that SMEs operate in the region, Arıcı emphasized that the foundations of many companies that have become important brands in Ankara and Turkey today are based in OSTİM. Arıcı pointed out that large companies cannot emerge without SMEs.
Adem Arıcı, who also provided information about clustering studies and explained that they are carrying out projects to improve the competitiveness of companies, emphasized the dependence on foreign sources in the energy sector and also introduced the Renewable Energy Cluster studies.
High energy efficiency
Arıcı stated that as part of energy efficiency efforts, they planned the OSB service building according to LEED criteria and put it into service as a highly energy-efficient building, adding that they started constructing the building in 2008.
Adem Arıcı stated that the constant temperature of 14 degrees Celsius 100 meters below the ground is used in the building's heating and cooling systems via a heat pump, and added that they constructed a thrombus wall on the exterior of the building, highlighting its advantage in terms of efficient energy use for heating and cooling according to the seasons.
Arıcı stated that they also aimed to train energy managers while designing the building, and added: “We are trying to maximize the use of daylight. There are solar tubes on the roof, and as long as there is daylight, the space below is illuminated. We used antibacterial silver iodide-impregnated systems in the ventilation ducts.”
OSTİM Energy Manager Turgut Tunç also introduced the students to the energy systems used in the building and provided information about their working principles.
