’s, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) “LEED Gold” standards. TEC’s LEED Gold certification was awarded in 29,July 2010. TEC is the first aviation related facility and second building with LEED Gold certification in Turkey. Some of TEC's sustainability features within the facility are as follows: * Building overall energy performance exceeds alike. Overall energy consumption from building operations is approximately 25% less than a typical energy efficient building based on ASHRAE standards. * High performance, energy efficient windows providing daylight to the facility, reducing electricity requirements and reducing the need for additional cooling. * Enhanced ventilation systems introduce at least 30% more fresh air to the interiors. The system is also controlled by CO₂ sensors which maximize occupant comfort while saving energy. * In addition to large window areas, solar tubes throughout the whole facility introduce daylight to 100% of the regularly occupied spaces. * The lighting system is controlled by daylight sensors which dim the interior lights when there is a healthy level of light from outside. * The cooling systems have been chosen so that the refrigerants used have no harm to the ozone layer. * A highly sophisticated Building Automation System minimizes energy waster from human factors. The system also allows for immediate notification and intervention of the building maintenance team in the case of a problem. * Roof manufactured with reflective material to keep the building cool. * The adhesives, paints and floor coverings have no or minimum Volatile Organic Compounds which prevents occupants from inhaling unhealthy particles, especially during the first couple of years of operation. * More than 10% of the total materials used come from recycled source, reducing the need for raw material extraction. * More than 40% of the total materials used come from local sources, reducing transportation based carbon emissions. *
