A new system being launched in 2011 by the Turkish government will measure the energy efficiency of every property in Turkey with inefficient homes having to pay higher taxes. If you own or are thinking of buying, the energy efficiency of the property may now be higher on your list of priorities.

From January 2011, all buildings will receive a document called their ‘energy identification’, showing how much energy they save.  The energy efficiency of every building in Turkey will be determined by experts and they will be given a grade between A and G – a grade A for the most energy efficient buildings (those easiest to heat and light and which release the least harmful gases) and G for the least energy efficient.
