Abstract

The combined use of phase change material (PCM) and thermal insulation (TI) is a crucial opportunity to enhance the thermal performance of buildings. This study aims to determine the optimum location and thickness of PCM and TI, as well as the melting temperature of PCM, in the exterior walls of an educational building located in five climate regions of Türkiye, and proposes a combination of PCM and TI techniques to reduce its cooling energy demand. Antalya, Istanbul, Ankara, Van, and Erzurum were selected to represent the various climatic regions of Türkiye. The simulation results revealed that the combined use of PCM and TI could effectively reduce the interior temperature (ITR) and provide better thermal comfort than incorporating PCM alone. The exterior wall type with PCM in the innermost layer and TI in the outermost layer was the most effective configuration for reducing the temperature fluctuations and cooling energy demand. The optimum melting temperature of the PCM was determined to be 27 ºC, ensuring a higher ITR and lower cooling energy consumption. The combined use of PCM (30 mm) and TI (10 mm), when properly selected according to local climatic conditions, can achieve considerable energy savings (9.12-19.95%).

Abstract

Faz değiştiren malzeme (PCM) ve termal yalıtımın (TI) birlikte kullanımı, binaların termal performansını artırmak için önemli bir fırsattır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'nin beş iklim bölgesinde yer alan bir eğitim binasının dış duvarlarında PCM ve TI'nin optimum yerleşim ve kalınlığını ve PCM'nin erime sıcaklığını belirlemeyi amaçlamış ve PCM ve TI'nin birlikte kullanım teknikleriyle soğutma enerji talebinin azaltılmasını hedeflemiştir. Antalya, İstanbul, Ankara, Van ve Erzurum, Türkiye'nin çeşitli iklim bölgelerini temsil etmek üzere seçilmiştir. Simülasyon sonuçları, PCM ve TI'nin birlikte kullanımının iç sıcaklık düşüşü (ITR) sağladığını ve yalnızca PCM kullanımına kıyasla daha iyi termal konfor sunduğunu göstermiştir. PCM'nin en içte ve TI'nin en dışta yer aldığı dış duvar tipi, sıcaklık dalgalanmalarını ve soğutma enerji talebini azaltmak için en etkili yapılandırma olmuştur. PCM'nin optimum erime sıcaklığı 27ºC olarak belirlenmiş, bu da daha fazla ITR ve daha az soğutma enerjisi tüketimi sağlamıştır. PCM (30 mm) ve TI (10 mm) birlikte kullanımı, yerel iklim koşullarına göre uygun şekilde seçildiğinde %9,12-19,95 arasında önemli enerji tasarrufu oranları elde edebilir.
