Within the scope of the Project for Researching Energy Efficiency Application Areas and Conducting Awareness Activities, the aim is to promote renewable energy sources, raise awareness about energy efficiency in the region, and increase energy efficiency awareness in society. In addition, the goal is to create a compact, exemplary social living space that meets 100% of its energy needs from renewable energy sources.

Within the scope of the project, a student cafeteria will be built on the campus of Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University with a completely environmentally friendly system design that will generate 20 kW of uninterrupted electricity from solar energy sources, with approximately 200 m² of covered area, 200 m² of open area, and 150 m² of green area. The system to be created for the planned student cafeteria will consist of PV (solar cell) panels that convert solar energy into electrical energy, an electrolyzer that separates water into hydrogen and oxygen, hydrogen and oxygen storage tanks, and a fuel cell that will generate electricity during the night when solar energy is insufficient or unavailable. It will also include the relevant control systems and will be designed to provide temperature control by reducing the building's heating and cooling load using phase-changing materials in the building. The project will support energy efficiency awareness among the young population at the university and demonstrate the widespread availability of renewable energy sources.
