EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS FACTOR DETERMINATION STUDY FOR ÇİTGÖL MUNICIPALITY REGIONAL HEATING SYSTEM PROJECT WITH GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

Abstract

A big amount of energy need is currently supplied with fossil-based energy products. The decrease in current depleted fossil energy sources and some environmental problems from several sources bring new and renewable energy sources up. Geothermal energy stands out as renewable, environmental, and non-foreign dependent energy source among these sources [Özkaya at all, 2008, pp:1-pp:18]. A survey on energy productivity of the regional heating system project performed in Çitgöl Municipality was conducted. This survey includes 30-questions totally. This survey was prepared in five point likert scale, and it was met face to face with 98-people to perform reliability analysis. Results were evaluated with SPPS program. Cronbach alpha value was reached-0.812 in the analysis performed with SPSS and it was obtained pretty reliable (good) level. As a result of committed factor identification studies, it was seen that 15-questions of 30-under four factors are meaningful after the results of committed analyses.Also, eigen value factor table data was investigated. Defined factors are as below; Factor 1:Energy usage information, Factor 2:Correct usage of energy, Factor 3:Physical environment, Factor 4:Efficient usage of energy. Data set line chart was investigated for these four meaningful factors, and it was observed that the scope between fourth and fifth factors was significantly lost. These factors explain-60,815 % of total variance. This survey study will be applied to 500-people in Çitgöl Municipality later, and PLS study will be performed based on defined factors and hypotheses.
