Energy Efficiency and Insulation
Before we talk about energy efficiency and insulation, what is thermal insulation? Why is it important? Which thermal insulation materials should be preferred? Let's give answers to these questions. Providing insulation in order to prevent heat from passing from one area to another area is called thermal insulation. Insulation that provides limited heat for certain parts is made with materials with small air fronts. Although the idea of this insulation, which is made to prevent the heat existing on the walls and ceilings from escaping, is simple, the variety of materials can cause confusion. There are many types of materials used in insulation, which is the main problem of those who live in regions with temperature differences especially according to the seasons.
Thermal insulation foam is one of the first materials that come to mind in this sense. In addition to foam in insulation based on the use of materials with low thermal conductivity;
Rock wool, Glass wool, eps, xps Materials are widely used. The answer to the question of how to make thermal insulation is actually hidden here. The materials to be insulated are placed on the interior, exterior or ceiling. If you live in an area that is hot in summer and very cold in winter, you will not only save on heating costs in winter. In summer, you also need insulation so that the cool air in the indoor environment collides with the temperature from the outside and keeps the environment cool. Thus, you will be saved from air conditioning costs.
Does Thermal Insulation Save Energy?
Let's come to our main question, does thermal insulation save energy? The amount of fuel consumed per person for heating or cooling buildings is quite high. The main reason for these expenses is related to the materials used in environments such as walls, windows, roofs and exterior walls. In order to maintain the desired temperature setting in the region, high fuel costs must be paid. If the building shows thermal insulation properties, these costs will also be saved.
For example, if the indoor temperature is 22 degrees and the outside temperature is -5 degrees, in an insulated environment;
(39-12.5) / 39 = 67% energy saving. By using a thermal insulation material with a thickness of only 5 cm on a non-insulated wall, the fuel saving rate achieved is 67%.
Of course, in order for this ratio to be higher, it is necessary to take precautions against environments with heat loss.
The Contribution of Thermal Insulation to Family and Country Economy
The benefits of thermal insulation are not limited to the family budget. Insulation, which means passive foreign exchange earnings, creates a new resource for family budgets and the country's economy. In order for the economic situation of the countries to progress positively, there is always a tourism issue. However, insulation, which is a passive foreign currency gain, contributes greatly to energy saving. When considering the amount of energy consumed in Turkey is any loss caused by heating the structure to 40 percent of oil equivalent.
It is a fact that with the insulation of the buildings, 50% to 70% profit will be provided annually. With the elimination of this loss, which is measured in billions of dollars, the state will have a new resource. Our company supply thermal insulation products that are used worldwide. You can obtain any insulation products from EPS expanded polystyrene , XPS foam to rock wool, glas wool from our company.
