A registered Turkish patent covering a system that monitors energy loss in public buildings and intervenes when losses are detected.
Kamu Binalarında Enerji Kayıplarının Önlenmesine Yönelik İzleme ve Müdahale Sistemi
A system for public buildings that monitors energy use in order to identify loss conditions and then acts on them. Detection and response are held together in one system, so an identified loss leads to an intervention rather than only to a record. The scope is the building as an operated whole, not a single measuring device.
Public buildings consume energy continuously while responsibility for their operation sits with an institution rather than an occupant. Losses therefore accumulate without anyone noticing them at the moment they occur. Conventional practice stops at measurement and reporting, which does not by itself stop a loss.
The registered system links continuous monitoring of a public building's energy behaviour to an intervention step. Conditions that indicate loss are identified, and the system responds to them as part of its normal operation. The intervention is a claimed part of the system rather than a manual task delegated to building staff.
Public buildings consume energy around the clock. Heating, lighting and ventilation follow schedules that rarely match how the rooms are actually used. Losses accumulate quietly — a system left running in an empty wing, a fault nobody reports, a setting nobody revisits after the season changes. Because the building is operated by an institution rather than by the people inside it, there is usually no one watching the meter at the moment a loss begins.
The gap this patent addresses sits between noticing a loss and doing something about it. Much of the existing practice in building energy management stops at measurement: a monthly report, a dashboard someone opens occasionally, a figure discussed after the fact. Measurement is necessary, but on its own it does not close anything, switch anything off, or shorten the period during which energy is being wasted.
The registered invention is an energy loss monitoring and intervention system for public buildings. The two functions are claimed together rather than as separate ideas. The monitoring side observes the building’s energy behaviour in order to identify conditions that indicate loss. The intervention side acts on those conditions, so that an identified loss produces a response and not only an entry in a log.
The registration is written at the level of the system rather than of any single component. That is the right altitude for what is being protected: the coupling of detection to response, applied to a building as an operated whole, in the specific setting of public buildings.
Figures accompany the filing. They will be published on this page once the document is prepared for public release; the images shown here are placeholders in the meantime.
Public building stock is large, long-lived and slow to replace. Most of the buildings that will be in use a decade from now already exist, which makes anything that can be added to an existing building more consequential than anything that depends on new construction. A system that shortens the interval between a loss starting and a loss being addressed works on that existing stock.
There is also an institutional argument. In a public building, the person best placed to notice a problem is often not the person responsible for the energy bill, and the person responsible for the bill is often not present. Automating the step from detection to response removes the dependency on that chain of communication.
No performance figures are claimed here. The value of the patent is in the scope of what it protects, and the measured behaviour of a built system belongs with the project write-up rather than with the registration.
Granted. The invention is registered with Türk Patent ve Marka Kurumu — the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office — under number TR 2025 014583 B, with a 20-year protection term running from 2025. Mehmet Enes is named as both inventor and applicant. The patent is linked on this site to the project of the same name.
