Almost zero -energy buildings used in Turkey and building shell materials

Almost zero -energy buildings are buildings that minimize energy consumption and reduce negative effects on the environment. The design of these buildings is possible with the correct selection of insulation and building shell materials. The construction of almost zero -energy buildings in Turkey is increasing and therefore the selection of insulation and bark materials is of great importance.

Insulation Materials

Insulation materials reduce energy consumption by reducing the heat losses of the building. The insulation materials used in almost zero -energy buildings in Turkey include polyurethane foam, mineral wool, glass fiber, rock wool and mushroom materials.

Polyurethane foam is a prominent material with its high insulation properties. It is also easy to apply and light. Mineral wool is a preferred material with features such as fire durability and sound insulation. Glass fiber stands out with its high durability and heat insulation feature. Rock wool is known for its resistance to temperature differences. Mushroom is also preferred as a natural insulation material.

Building shell ingredients

Building shell materials cover the external influences such as outer walls, roofs, windows and doors of the building. The correct selection of these materials provides energy saving by reducing the energy consumption of the building. Building shell materials used in almost zero -energy buildings in Turkey include dual -facing glasses, insulated doors and windows, energy efficient roof materials and insulated outer wall materials.

Dual -facing glasses are a prominent material with its high thermal insulation properties. Insulated doors and windows also save energy by providing high thermal insulation. Energy efficient roofing materials absorb solar energy and provide less use of heating or cooling systems.
