Abstract: It is possible to compensate the existing city requirements without constructing new buildings and provide a socio-economic contribution to the region by the adaptive reuse of existing structures. The adaptive reuse of non-functional structures that have historic value will not only create a cultural bridge between past and present but also prevent the energy consumption that increases due to the construction processes of new structures. The strategies implemented for these buildings have to provide functional requirements, energy efficiency, optimum climatic, visual, acoustical comfort conditions and minimum environmental effects. In this study, the effects of energy retrofit strategies on annual energy consumption are investigated through Derince Travers Injection Plant which is an example of an industrial heritage located in Kocaeli-Turkey assumed to be adapted to a social center complex. The physical conditions of the building are examined by site analysis conducted with infrared thermography (IRT), non destructive test method to determine suitable energy retrofit strategies. Annual energy consumption amounts by implementation of determined strategies on the adaptively reused building are analyzed and compared by the energy analysis program, Design-Builder. The comparison of the result of the total amount of annual energy consumption of the building due to suggested strategies with the limit values defined in national Turkish energy standard showed that its energy class is C which is defined as appropriate range.
