Benefits of Thermal Insulation

Thermal insulation is the process of heat transfer between insulating material and materials in contact with heat. Thermal insulation is measured by thermal conductivity. Low thermal conductivity materials are used for thermal insulation. In addition to thermal conductivity, density and heat capacity are also important properties of insulation materials.

For thermal insulation, heat flow through the insulation material must be resisted. Therefore, the insulating material working as an insulator must block the heat flow between adjacent surfaces of the contacting materials by any heat transfer mechanism.

Thermal insulation is a process for limiting heat losses and gains in buildings and facilities. From a technical point of view, thermal insulation is applied to reduce heat transfer between environments with different temperatures.

What Are the Benefits?

Thermal Insulation Reduces Energy Consumption: The need for heating and cooling is increasing day by day in our country, where four seasons are truly lived. The energy loss/gain in our dwellings must be reduced to save energy, because the amount of energy consumption for heating or cooling is defined by the magnitude of the energy lost or gained in the dwellings. Limiting the amount of thermal energy passing through the building elements is possible with the thermal insulation of the building envelope and the use of insulated joinery and glass.

Thermal Insulation Contributes to the Protection of the Environment: Fossil fuels, which meet more than 60 percent of the world's energy needs, cause global warming. Air pollution continues to increase due to the increasing need for energy and the lack of efficient consumption. Increasing air pollution manifests itself as global warming and climate change. The threat of global warming and the need to reduce air pollution are among the most important issues of our time.

The fuel savings to be achieved by the reduction of heat loss in the winter months and the reduction of the heat gain in the summer months will also reduce the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere.

Thermal insulation measures to ensure effective use of energy will reduce fossil fuel consumption and play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. In addition, thermal insulation will reduce the need for refrigerants, which are used in summer and damage the ozone layer. Decreased energy requirements will result in reduced energy production with fewer fossil fuels used in production, resulting in a reduction in gas emissions.

Thermal Insulation Provides Heat Convenience: Thermal conditions in indoor environments are a direct concern for the convenience and health of such residents. The working efficiency of people largely depends on the temperature of their environment. Very cold or very hot environments have been shown to reduce operating efficiency.

In order to avoid this, thermal compatibility should be provided in the structures. Thermal compatibility requires reducing the temperature difference between the room temperature and the inner surface temperature of the walls. The higher this difference, the less convenience there will be. A comfortable environment requires such a difference to be a maximum of 3 °C. Low indoor temperatures cause heat to move towards cold surfaces to cause unwanted drafts. Such air currents disturb comfort and cause illness.

Thermal insulation is necessary to reduce the difference between the internal surface and ambient temperatures. Thermal insulation provides a homogeneous temperature at every point of the region and air flow is prevented. This creates a comfortable and healthy environment.

Thermal Insulation Offers a Healthy Life: The relationship between humidity in uninsulated environments and emerging diseases is known. Humid environments create favorable conditions for the growth of microorganisms. As a result, breathing air in such an environment becomes harmful to the respiratory tract. Humid environments and mold growth in these areas greatly increase the risk of developing asthma, especially for children. Thermal insulation applied in accordance with applicable standards will prevent all these problems.

Apart from these, thermal insulation also reduces initial investment and operating costs.
