Residential sector of Alaska accounts for about 8%
of the total national energy consumption. Space heating accounts for 72% of the
total residential energy consumption. Many studies are conducted to model
building energy consumption in different climates. However, there are very few
studies about the most efficient building constructions for Alaska climate. In
this study, heating energy consumption of a single detached dwelling in
Anchorage and Fairbanks Alaska is modelled by means of eQUEST software. The
results show that most energy efficient roof, wall and door construction
materials are wood. House with dark colored roof and wall are estimated to
consume 2% less energy for heating compared to light colored ones. Most energy
efficient window glazing is concluded to be 12 mm argon filled triple glazing.
In addition, the effect on the energy consumption of direction of doors and
windows is also investigated.
Alaska’da konut sektörü, toplam ulusal enerji tüketiminin yaklaşık % 8’ini
oluşturmaktadır. Toplam konut enerji tüketiminin % 72’sini alan ısıtması oluşturmaktadır.
Farklı iklimlerde bina enerji tüketimini modellemek için birçok çalışma
yapılmıştır. Bununla birlikte, Alaska iklimi için en verimli bina yapıları
hakkında az sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Alaska Anchorage ve Fairbanks’daki bir müstakil
konutun ısıtma enerji tüketimi, eQUEST yazılımı vasıtasıyla modellenmiştir.
Sonuçlar, enerji tasarruflu en fazla çatı, duvar ve kapı inşaat malzemelerinin
ahşap olduğunu göstermektedir. Koyu renkli çatı ve duvarları olan konutların
açık renkli olanlara kıyasla ısıtma için % 2 daha az enerji tükettiği tahmin
edilmiştir. Enerji tasarrufu en yüksek pencere camının, 12 mm argon boşluklu
üçlü cam olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Buna ek olarak, kapı ve pencerelerin
yönünün enerji tüketimi üzerindeki etkisi de araştırılmıştır.

Selcuk University Journal of Science Faculty accepts articles in Turkish and English with original results in basic sciences and other applied sciences. The journal may also include compilations containing current innovations.
It was first published in 1981 as "S.Ü. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi Dergisi" and was published under this name until 1984 (Number 1-4).
In 1984, its name was changed to "S.Ü. Fen-Edeb. Fak. Fen Dergisi" and it was published under this name as of the 5th issue.
When the Faculty of Letters and Sciences was separated into the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Letters with the decision of the Council of Ministers numbered 2008/4344 published in the Official Gazette dated 3 December 2008 and numbered 27073, it has been published as "Selcuk University Journal of Science Faculty" since 2009.
It has been scanned in DergiPark since 2016.
