In Turkey, where energy imports hover above $60 billion, geopolitical developments bring the risk of this figure climbing even higher. Modernization investments aimed at increasing energy efficiency offer a significant opportunity to both lower energy costs and reduce foreign dependency.

H. Ahmet İlhan, Chairman of the Board of Gökçe Brülör, stated that approximately 35,000 of the 135,000 burners produced by Gökçe Brülör to date are still operational. Noting that modernizing existing burners with up-to-date digital technologies can provide fuel savings of up to 15%, İlhan added that the investment can pay for itself within 3 to 12 months.

According to the Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction published by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), buildings account for approximately 34% of global energy consumption. About 60% of the energy consumed in buildings is used in heating, cooling, and hot water systems. This data demonstrates that efficiency-enhancing modernization investments in heating systems used in residences, housing complexes, and commercial buildings are of critical importance for both operational economics and climate targets. Unfortunately, however, it is often overlooked that the greatest savings potential in buildings lies in the old burners that have been running in boiler rooms for years.

"You cannot improve what you do not measure"

"The fact that an old burner is operational does not mean it runs efficiently. Efficiency can only be seen if it is measured, and savings begin with the right analysis," said H. Ahmet İlhan, Chairman of the Board of Gökçe Brülör. "You cannot improve what you do not measure. For this reason, as Gökçe Brülör, we offer a comprehensive assessment service through our authorized service network across Turkey. With the 'Savings Potential Report' we prepare, we help businesses and building managers base their investment decisions on concrete data."
