• SESSION NUMBER ONE
• SOCIAL EDUCATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSCIOUSNESS,
  SOCIAL COST(EXTERNAL)
• ? Economical and technological aims must be
  complemented by social and environmental
  ones, only then can we avoid making the mistakes
  of industrial development at the expense of human
  society and environment.
• Fundamentals of an environmentally and energy
  conscious education
• emphasis on energy and environmental issues
• emphasis on fundamental concepts of energy use
  and environment
• active participation in current action on energy
  and environment
• basic capabilities in the daily practice of
  energy efficiency, and responsible environmental
  behaviour
• emphasis on real and external costs of fossil
  energy use

5
Organising principles of such an education ? It
is lifelong ? It treats technology and society
as an indivisible whole ? It accepts as given
that clean energy and environment are
fundamental traits of a just and balanced
society ? It is a multidisciplinary endevour ?
It puts particular emphasis on the need for
national and international networks,
collaboration and coordination
6
Elements of a strategy FORMAL EDUCATION 1.
Fundamentals of ecology and energy 2. Conceptual
consciousness building ?Society and
environment ? Individuals make a difference ?
Wide area impacts ? Cleaning-up solutions and
alternatives ? Correct decision making
information access, independent evaluation ?
Global and local models of development 3.
Critical insight capability 4. Pro-environment
activism
7

• Educators for environmental education
• Understanding of fundamental issues surrounding
  energy and environment, critical capacity
• Holistic comprehension regarding social impact
  and roles for citizens
• Comprehension on multidisciplinarity of the
  issues
• Emphasis on continuing education
• Critical look at education techniques and will to
  change
• Education of specialists and researchers on
  energy and environmental engineering,
  environmental economics

8

• Social education and consciousness building
• Universal campaigning
• Nationwide use of communications media towards
• energy and environmental consciousness
• Local programs radio and TV
• Nationwide energy and environment champions,
• public figures, celebrities
• Written documentation, internet usage
• Other target institutions and constituencies
• NGOs
• Unions
• Local government
• Political parties
• Professional organizations

9

• SESSION NUMBER TWO
• Legal Framework and SupportMechanisms
• ?Public policy is the one most fundamental
  element for
• the increased use of renewables in the energy
  mix
• ? This policy is to be supported by the new surge
  inglobal,
• regional and national regulation making to
  save the
• environment
• ? The focus should be not on a narrow
  cost/benefit analysis but
• the right to a clean environment and world
• Turkish constitution especially pertaining to the
  right to environment
• gives legislative strength to clean energy
  production

10

• Legal Framework and SupportMechanisms
• (continued)
• Internal legislative framework through the
  Environment Law and other
  auxilary legislation is amenable to a
  pro-renewables regulation
• All regulations that seem to constitute barriers
  against the use of renewables should be
  reconsidered with a holistic perpective
  regarding the above mentioned advantages
• First to be handled are legislation regarding
  property, grid connection, producing and storing
  energy as well as regional and local urban
  planning .

SESSION NUMBER THREE National Photovoltaics
Industry Players The state, Universities,
Producers, Distributers, Appliers
and Users, Utilities Strategies State Short
term Enabling legal and financial environment
discard grid- connection barriers, start net
metering, financial and tax incentives, public
demo projects Medium term Incentives for
production Long term Incentives for export
12
Strategies Universities Short term
Certification training for applications
workforce, Research on thin film technology,
Setup of national PV research
institute. Medium term Prospective
technologies RD special emphasis on
thin film technologies Long term Technological
support to industry, process and product
development, emphasis on thin films
13
Strategies Producers Short term Market
research, Module production line(Si) with
annual capacity 500 kWp, Suppliers and BOS
sectors manufacturing capacity. Medium term
Thin film manufacture 5MWp/year, competitive
prices, application oriented
products(roof,facade). Long term gt 30 MWp
production capacity.
14
Strategies Distributors Short term Product
introduction, marketing Medium term Close
cooperation with producers, export
market possibilities research. Long term
Export market Appliers Short term Standards
and implementation rules, technical
directives, application details Medium term
Project support, architectural trend
setting Long term Models and prototypes of
BIPV integration
15
Strategies Utilities Short term Identify
and get rid of legal and technical barriers in
front of grid-connection Medium term Support
large grid-connection projects Long term 1
of total energy is PV produced with appropriate
incentives if necessary
16
Critical capabilities ?Transform geographic
potential to market and technology development
for photovoltaic technology ? Lobbying and
organizational abilities, networks formation
market intervention ? Social consciousness
building, information on environmental issues,
educational campaigning ? Legal and
administrative regulations ? Technological
choice why thin film technology? Considerations
thin film capabilites present, initial
investment relatively low, energy pay-bak
shorter, less technical sophistication, lesser
materials usage, greater flexibility in BIPV...

SESSION NUMBER FOUR Building Integration
Prologue Our technological
civilization today confirms that at the heart of
all energy and energetic transformations lies the
sun. It is a fateful result then that our
civilization today also has turned its back on
this fact and lives a wasteful life and
reproduces a wasteful building culture. Through
the perpective of rich historical experience, we
find the eskimo house, the bedouin tent, a black
sea wooden house and the stone architecture of
Urfa in sounder and more meaningful relationship
with geography, climate and solar energy.
18
Prologue(continued) The sun needs to be brought
back into our lives, particularly our built
environment to cleanse the world of decades of
malpractice poisoning our cities and our lands.
This needs to be done by learning from the rich
architectural traditions of past eras as well as
utilising to the utmost, a solar technology that
is neither disruptive nor pollutive in our built
environment We see photovoltaic integration as
one possible element of such a policy which is no
doubt composed of a wholesome perpective
integrating sound urban planning with passive and
active energy planning.
19

• Principles
• General historical/geographic approach
• Self-sufficient buildings as a rule
• Traditional concepts and practice valuable
• Integration of PV with passive solar heat/cold
  control, illumination and daylighting as well as
  air circulation
• Map of Collaboration
• Maximum synergy to be sought Central/local
  government, Educators and Academia, RD
  institutions, producers, sectoral
  representatives, Cooperatives, NGOs,
  press/TV/radio, internet, international bodies,
  important people, social leaders and celebrities

20

• Building Culture, Solar Energy and Education
• Environmental principles to reign supreme among
  architects, practitioners, educators and
  industrial sector. Continuous education.
• Incentives for creativity and innovative practice
• Legislation
• All planning processes(town, urban, city,
  building energy, etc..) use renewable energy
  production and use as an input
• Seperate building regulations from planning
  regulations
• Integrate energy planning into building
  legislation(efficiency, renewables usage etc..

21

• Finance and Implementation
• Until the sector becomes economically feasible in
  a so-called market economy(as externalities are
  never accounted for), support by incemtives, tax
  breaks, and all means the formation of a national
  PV sector.
• Support at all scales, model for the
  collaboration of all players national and
  international
• BIPV
• Incorporate into the design stage of all building
  production and non-building built environment
  production, principles of energy and
  environmental consciousness without leaving out
  taste, aesthetic aspects and respect for the
  traditional
• Create platforms of responsible practice on which
  wasteful design and implementation are scorned
  at.
