INVESTIGATION OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION AT DIFFERENT FLOORS IN BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENT OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY: BALIKESIR CASE

Abstract

As the population increases day by day and technology develops, the need for energy increases. Natural resources are mostly used to meet the energy needs of people and over time, especially non-renewable resources are depleted. Buildings in which many actions are performed in daily life play an important role in energy consumption. While performing actions in the interior spaces of the buildings, users need to meet certain building physical conditions and one of these conditions is thermal performance. In order to provide thermal comfort conditions in the interior of the building, it is necessary to make cooling in summer periods and heating in winter periods. The decisions to be taken at the design stage affect the energy consumption required for heating-cooling. The thermal insulation status of the building envelope and air leaks are parameters affecting energy consumption. Factors such as the material used in the outer wall mesh, thermal insulation application, window/wall ratio have an important role on the amount of energy required to provide the most suitable indoor thermal comfort for the building users since they affect the heat intake to the interior and the preservation of the existing heat. In addition, when it comes to indoor thermal comfort, the effect of the activity on the floor above or below is important. Besides, the intended use of the space determines the heating-cooling times of that space. For example, a place with commercial use is mostly used during daytime hours and is heated during the hours it is used in winter. There is heat exchange between the spaces separated from each other by walls or floor surfaces. For this reason, the volumes to which the space is related are important in terms of thermal comfort. The study aims to analyse comperatively the energy consumption of 3 different identical floors with a commercial function space underneath, with apartments both above and below and with a roof above, by simulation method. It is concluded that House A, located on the first floor of identical houses, provides thermal comfort conditions with the least energy consumption. House C, located under the roof, consumes the most energy to ensure indoor thermal comfort. As a result of the study the apartment with the best thermal performance were further anlaysed to reduce energy consumption by making simulations according to different building envelope scenarios and examining different types of wall materials.
