Does the fact that the building is located in a hot climate zone make thermal insulation unnecessary?
When it comes to sheathing in our country, the first thing that comes to mind is more economical and comfortable heating in winter. However, sheathing is a very effective and necessary application in summer for protection from the cold as well as from the heat. It is a known fact that cooling costs even surpass heating costs in some regions.
The most effective method to eliminate the excess of heat energy experienced in the summer, to increase the comfort of life and to provide economy is to have thermal insulation. While south-facing living spaces are an advantage in winter, this situation is reversed in summer and in non-insulated buildings, more discomfort comes to the fore in south-facing living spaces. However, without neglecting the space, it can be eliminated with a suitable sheathing application and heat insulated windows.
