The Effect of Optimum Insulation Thickness on Energy Saving and Global Warming Potential

Öz:
Building and construction sector in Turkey has a significant share in total energyconsumption. In addition, 45% of global CO2 emissions are also caused by these sectors. Thereduction of fossil fuels used for heating in buildings and the environmental impacts caused bythem has become very important in terms of energy performance and environmental protection.The most effective method of reducing heat losses occurring on the external surfaces is thermalinsulation. In this study, optimum insulation thickness, energy saving, cost saving, payback periodand greenhouse gas emissions were calculated with respect to different fuels for Diyarbakırprovince. The novelty of this study is the determination of the environmental performance as wellas the energy performance of the optimum insulation thickness. Calculations were performedconsidering three different fuels (natural gas, coal and fuel-oil). The optimum insulation thicknesswas calculated using the life cycle cost method. Global warming potential is expressed as kg CO2equivalent (CO2eq.) and calculated by life cycle assessment method. The optimum insulationthickness was found as 0.057 m, 0.066 m and 0.089 m for natural gas, coal, and fuel oilrespectively. Payback periods were calculated as 2.85, 3.57 and 2.05 years for natural gas, coaland fuel oil, respectively. Annual avoided environmental impacts for calculated optimuminsulation thicknesses were found as 17.45, 51.28 and 26.7 kg CO2eq/m2 for natural gas, coal, andfuel oil respectively.

Optimum Yalıtımı Kalınlığının Enerji Tasarrufu ve Küresel Isınma Potansiyeli Üzerine Etkisi

Öz:
Türkiyede bina ve yapı sektörü toplam enerji tüketiminde önemli bir paya sahiptir. Ayrıca küresel CO2 emisyonlarının %45'ine yine bu sektörler neden olmaktadır. Binalarda ısıtma amaçlı kullanılan fosil yakıtların ve bunların neden olduğu çevresel etkilerin azaltılması enerji performansı ve çevresel koruma adına çok önemli hale gelmiştir.Dış yüzeylerde meydana gelen ısı kayıplarını azaltmanın en etkili yöntemi ısı yalıtımıdır. Bu çalışmada, Diyarbakır ili için farklı yakıtlara göre optimum yalıtım kalınlığı, enerji tasarrufu, maliyet tasarrufu, geri ödeme süreleri ve sera gazı emisyonları hesaplanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın özgünlüğü optimum yalıtım kalınlığının enerji performansının yanı sıra çevresel performansının da belirlenmesidir. Hesaplamalar üç farklı yakıt (doğalgaz, kömür ve fuel-oil) dikkate alınarak yapılmıştır. Optimum yalıtım kalınlığı, yaşam döngüsü maliyet yöntemi kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Küresel ısınma potansiyeli, kg CO2 eşdeğer (CO2eq.) olarak ifade edilmiş ve yaşam döngüsü değerlendirme yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Doğalgaz, kömür ve fuel-oil için optimum yalıtım kalınlığı sırasıyla 0.057 m, 0.066 m ve 0.089 m olarak bulunmuştur. Geri ödeme süreleri doğalgaz, kömür ve fuel-oil için sırasıyla 2.85, 3.57 ve 2.05 yıl olarak hesaplanmıştır. Hesaplanan optimum yalıtım kalınlıkları için yıllık önlenen çevresel etkiler doğalgaz, kömür ve fuel-oil için sırasıyla 17.45, 51.28 ve 26.7 kg CO2eq /m2 olarak bulunmuştur.
