Most of the energy used in the residences is consumed for heating and cooling purposes. This energy in question; effective use can be achieved by thermal insulation. In countries like Turkey that experiences four seasons, building physical changes such as expansion and contraction experienced in building components, are important factors that reduce the life of the building. In order to prevent these physical changes and get safer dwellings, the buildings should be covered with insulation / insulation materials in accordance with the standards and regulations.

 

The amount of heat lost from the outer walls of the building is directly proportional to the height of the building. As the building height increases, the surface area increases, so heat losses increase. The heat loss caused by the outer walls in high-rise buildings is approximately 40% and in single-storey buildings is around 25%.
