Space heating is the dominant item of energy consumption of buildings in Turkey. Effective
building envelope insulation, especially in early design phase, is the most common passive …

Approximately 31% of the energy requirement in Turkey is related to residential buildings.
For this reason, residential buildings have an important role in reducing energy needs and …

In light of the current energy problems, building envelopes must achieve thermal insulation
in buildings by consuming the least amount of energy, thereby minimising energy …

Thermal insulation improves the strength and longevity of buildings by reducing energy
consumption, and as a related result, improved energy use. The selection of insulation …

Heat loss from buildings has a considerable share in waste of energy especially in Turkey
since no or little insulation is used in existing and new buildings. Therefore, energy savings …

Building envelope plays an important role in energy efficiency of the buildings as it is the
only permanent source of energy efficiency. A well-designed building envelope reduces the …

In this study, thermal, economical and environmental effects in insulated building walls are
numerically investigated under dynamic thermal conditions for two different wall structures …

This study determines the optimum insulation layer thickness to be applied to external
building walls considering the heating degree-day (HDD) method, then energy saving costs …

In this study, the optimum thickness of thermal insulation used to reduce heat gain and
losses in buildings is investigated under dynamic thermal conditions by using the climatic …

Building envelope insulation is crucial for an energy-efficient and comfortable indoor
environment because the envelope accounts for 50–60% of total heat gain/loss in a …
