Özet: Today, the rapid reduction of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas, which have a significant utilization rate and the environmental problems created by these sources, necessitate both the rational and economic use of these resources and the absolute necessity of energy efficiency for sustainable development.In recent years, the increase in the amount of energy used all over the world and the decline of ecosystem balance has caused new approaches to energy use not only in protecting the environment but also in terms of sustainable development.In this context, energy efficiency is an important issue that needs to be investigated in terms of sustainable development and the potential for present situation and development.In the present study; Turkey's energy outlook and evaluating potential, energy efficiency and climate change performance is examined and sectoral energy efficiency studies have been analyzed in terms of the current situation and future projections.Additionaly, offered suggestions for the improvement of energy efficiency applications in Turkey and an energy efficiency index (ODEX) evaluated based sector, the savings potential of energy efficiency practices are presented comparatively.
