The most important task in protecting the houses against the effects of heat falls on the building components. In the case of insulating the building components that come into contact with the roof, chimney and ground, especially the exterior wall, interior wall and windows, the residences are protected against the effects of the external environment.

WALLS

Heat losses from exterior walls in residences vary according to the height of the building. The larger the surface, the higher the heat loss.

Heat losses due to exterior walls occur around 40% in multi-stories houses and 25% in single-story houses.

If there is no short-term heating on the walls, exterior thermal insulation should be preferred, so that the heat storage capacity of the building elements is also utilized.

At the same time, this application protects the entire building envelope from precipitation waters and heat stresses. helps prolong its lifespan.

 

THERMAL INSULATION ON FLOORING

           As with all other building elements, heat losses occur in basements and floors. Heat losses are 20% in single-story houses and 6% in multi-stories houses. Heat insulation materials with high pressure resistance should be used.

The waterproofing to be made can be applied under or on the floor concrete and insulation boards. In cold regions, if the difference between the interior temperature of the houses and the floor temperature is large, thermal insulation should also be applied on the floor sitting on the floor.

THERMAL INSULATION ON WINDOWS

          Windows are the building elements with the highest heat permeability, the largest part of the total heat loss of the windows is the transmission heat loss and the heat losses caused by the joints. It causes 7% heat loss in high houses and 20% in single-story houses. The windows provide heat gain by passing the sunlight in winter, but they lose the heat they gain immediately when there is no sunlight. According to the joinery types (wood, PVC, metal), windows differ in terms of heat transmission coefficients. The heat loss from the frame is more important than the heat loss from the windows. Frames undertake the role of cold bridge in terms of heat loss, so the heat transmission coefficients of the material to be used for the frame should be low. In recent years, plastic joinery materials and constructions that will reduce the thermal bridge effect have been used.

          The hottest area of ​​the rooms is behind the radiators. While the room temperature is 20°C, the temperature behind the radiator rises to 45°C. According to the laws of thermodynamics, the greater the temperature difference between two environments, the greater the heat transfer. One of the areas with the biggest temperature difference with the outside and where the heat is lost the fastest is the back of the radiator.

THERMAL INSULATION ON ROOFS

          Along with the humidity stability of the buildings, the heat stability is also extremely important. Houses need to be insulated for thermal stability and roofs like other building elements should be included in this insulation application. Houses should be designed in such a way that water evaporates inside and condenses outside. Insulation and building materials should be chosen in such a way that they do not allow condensation of water vapor, so that the water vapor can be discharged from inside the houses without condensation and the ventilation and the air can hold more water. Due to the temperature differences between night and day, there is thermal activity in residences. With the insulation applications to be made on the roofs, this thermal mobility can be fixed at certain rates
