Studies on energy efficiency and effectiveness, which have come to the agenda with the danger of depletion of natural resources and problems in energy supply, have started to find a response in the rapidly developing aviation sector as in many sectors. Airports consume large amounts of natural resources and energy during construction and operation processes. In this study, terminal buildings, which have the highest energy consumption in the airport complex, are considered. The aim of the study is to determine energy efficient design approaches that can be applied to provide efficiency in energy use in terminal buildings. In this context, through a literature review based on energy-efficient building design parameters, relevant regulations, aviation organizations' energy efficiency approaches, as well as the classification and evaluation of data obtained from sample building analyses, a guide has been developed for the energy efficiency-focused sustainable design of airport terminal buildings. This guide was then used to assess the Kahramanmaraş Airport Terminal Building as a case study. In the course of this research, it was determined that when designing airport terminal buildings with high energy consumption potential, special consideration must be given to the climatic region in which they are located. Design approaches should be shaped accordingly, taking into account factors such as land use, building orientation, building form, building envelope, shading elements design, design of renewable energy sources, location-transportation facilities, indoor environmental quality. Within this context, crucial design considerations pertaining to energy efficiency have been identified, and recommended solution strategies have been put forth.
