Investigation of Optimum Insulation Thickness for External Walls of Poultry Farms in Bandırma

Abstract

Poultry plants have an important place in the economy of Bandırma. This study examined the optimum thickness of insulation, energy saving, payback period, and emissions of CO2 for poultry plant buildings' external walls in Bandırma. Calculations were based on five various fuels (natural gas, coal, LPG, electricity, and fuel oil). This study used two various insulation materials (Expanded Polystyrene and Extruded Polystyrene) were used. The Life Cycle Cost method has been applied as the approach. The equilibrium temperature, on which the calculations were based, was the temperature values required by broilers during the 6-week production season (Tbase= 31, 29, 25, 23.50, 22.50 and, 20.50°C). The degree day values calculated according to these equilibrium temperatures were obtained as 3111 for heating and 79 for cooling. The results showed that the optimum thickness of insulation varied in the range of 0.065-0.233 in heating. The amount of savings and payback period vary between 17.75-122 $/m2 and 1.72-1.20 years, respectively. It was calculated that a reduction by 80-90% in fuel quantity and CO2 emissions could be achieved after application of the optimum insulation thickness. This study aims to contribute to Bandırma's becoming an important place in the poultry sector.
