World energy consumption refers to the total energy used by all of human civilization. Since the heating costs in winter, the cooling costs in summer are very high in Turkey, insulation is made to the buildings to reduce these costs. A great part of the raw materials of insulation materials have been imported. Rapid increase in the population, developments in the technology everyday bring rapid consumption of energy resources with them. Today, the energy consumption has reached serious proportions and precautions have already been started to be taken all over the world. Most of the energy in Turkey is spent in industry and in housings. Energy savings potential is available up to annual $ 7.5 billion by the dissemination of heat insulation applications in Turkey. Energy efficiency should be supported in buildings via heat insulation in order to prompt this potential. In the present stu.. Read More»
