Examining Heat Insulation Applications on Public Buildings in Gümü？hane

Energy need per person is increasing rapidly due to advancing technology nowadays. One of the ways to meet the increasing energy needs is to increase energy production while the other one is to conserve energy consumed. Especially with the energy crisis experienced after 1973, the efficient use of energy has gained importance. In our country, the energy saving potential used in heating and cooling applications in houses is quite high. This energy saving which will be obtained especially in heating applications in our country which has regions with long and cold winters is very important both for the country economy and for reducing the environmental pollution. In this study, uninsulated and insulated conditions of a public building (lodging) located in Gümü？hane were examined and the adequacy of the insulation applications was investigated according to TS 825 standards. Insulated and uninsulated thermal images of the building were taken and heat bridges formed in the building were determined. The results of the study show that insulation in the application project in the building is not sufficient according to TS 825 standards and therefore there are losses in energy saving. In addition, it is seen that saving can be achieved up to 50% with insulation applied according to the standards
