The transformation of heritage buildings within the scope of energy efficiency studies has become a serious research area in recent years. This study aims to emphasize the importance of analysis, monitoring and control of the current state of the building in interventions to be applied while protecting a heritage building. Within the scope of this purpose, it presents the energy performance monitoring process in a historical building as a case study. Tiryakizade Süleyman Ağa Mosque, which is an 18th century structure located in Eskişehir's Odunpazarı district, has a multifunctional use as a cafeteria and a mosque The energy performance monitoring of the building, whose user density is variable depending on the variety of functions, was carried out in 2022 using the discrete/repetitive period method. Outdoor climate data of the building location, indoor temperature (℃), relative humidity (%), user presence (%), on/off status of lighting elements (%), gas consumption (kWh), thermal transmittance coefficients of building elements (W/m2K) were monitored using appropriate devices and methods. The building monitoring data obtained from all seasons were examined according to the indoor thermal comfort conditions in the standards evaluated according to the international standards ASHRAE 55 and ISO 7730. It has been determined that the case in question does not meet the thermal comfort conditions in the standards at a high rate. Parameters such as building envelope, impermeability and user factor for the determination reached were evaluated and detailed research points were determined for further studies.
