The Investigation of Heating Conduction Coefficients of Different Heating Isolation Materials Used in buildings in Circumstance of Erzincan Province Using Thermocouple and Thermal Camera

Given the fact that 35 % of total energy is consumed in buildings and % 80 of that energy is used as heating purposes, it is of importance that heating isolation material applied to buildings as well as more efficient heating systems set up in buildings provides large energy savings. Providing desired performance in heating isolation is directly correlated to properties of heating isolation material along with to thoroughly complying to application techniques of isolation materials. Expanded perlit is considered to be alternative heating isolation material because it has close isolation values to that of other isolation materials, and its lifetime approaches to infinity due to its puzolanik features gaining strength with time, and it prevents heat bridges as isolation process is done as whole in layer, and it has high fire durability, sound isolation, and it prevents the formation of vapor between wall and plaster surface and so that prevents mold and bacteria with the help of breathing the air, and it doesn`t emit harmful chemical substance due to fact that it is natural. In this study, an experimental room was made in Erzincan province and compared the thermal insulation performance of perlite, which is the most widely used thermal insulation material today, with expanded EPS. As a result of the evaluation of the received measurement data, it has been determined that 8 cm expanded perlite and 6 cm EPS thermal insulation material have equal thermal insulation capacity.
