Abstract:

 The subject of thermal insulation constitutes an area that is of global importance and is constantly studied. In this context, by choosing four different wall models stone, brick, briquette and reinforced concrete and five different fuels coal, natural gas, Liquid Propane Gas LPG, fuel oil and electricity for Ağrı province, optimum insulation thickness, insulation cost, fuel and total costs, payback period and annual energy gain values were calculated. Expanded Polystyrene EPS was used as insulation material in the study. The highest optimum insulation thickness, fuel cost and total cost values were determined for the reinforced concrete wall model in the case where electrical energy was used. In the reinforced concrete wall model, optimum insulation thickness for electrical energy was determined as 0.168m, fuel cost was 3,2392 m2 and total cost was 23,9826 m2. Although the optimum insulation thickness, fuel cost and total cost for the reinforced concrete wall model were higher than the other wall types, it has been determined that it was the most efficient wall model in terms of payback time. It has been determined that among the fuel types used, the most efficient in terms of payback period are electricity, coal and natural gas, the two fuel types that can amortize themselves at the latest.

 Isı yalıtımı konusu global ölçüde önem arz eden ve üzerinde sürekli çalışılan bir alanı oluşturmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, Ağrı ili için dört farklı duvar modeli taş, tuğla, briket ve betonarme ve beş farklı yakıt kömür, doğalgaz, Likit Propan Gaz LPG, fuel oil ve elektrik çeşidi seçilerek optimum yalıtım kalınlığı, yalıtım maliyeti, yakıt ve toplam maliyetler, geri ödeme süresi ve yıllık enerji kazancı değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmada yalıtım malzemesi olarak Genleştirilmiş Polistiren EPS kullanılmıştır. En yüksek optimum yalıtım kalınlığı, yakıt maliyeti ve toplam maliyet değerleri elektrik enerjisinin kullanıldığı durumda betonarme duvar modeli için belirlenmiştir. Betonarme duvar modelinde elektrik enerjisi için optimum yalıtım kalınlığı 0.168 m, yakıt maliyeti 3,2392 m2 ve toplam maliyet 23,9826 m2 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Betonarme duvar modeli için optimum yalıtım kalınlığı, yakıt maliyeti ve toplam maliyet diğer duvar türlerine göre daha yüksek değerler gösterse de geri ödeme süresi bakımından en verimli duvar modeli olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kullanılan yakıt çeşitleri arasında geri ödeme süresi bakımından en verimli olanının elektrik, kömür ve doğal gazın kendilerini en geç amorti edebilen iki yakıt çeşidi olduğu belirlenmiştir.
