Investigation of the Components of Concrete Structures in Terms of Thermal Insulation: A Review
Journal Title: Gazi Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi Part C: Tasarım ve Teknoloji - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
As one of the most important results of Oil Crisis in 1973 it has been understood that the natural sources are exhaustible and they ought to be consumed efficiently as much as possible. With discussion about Global Warming within the scope of scientific literature since 1980s “Energy Efficiency” became one of the most popular research topics until today. Since the buildings are responsible for 32% of total energy consumption energy efficient design of the building envelopes became more than an issue. As concrete is the most widely used construction material determining its thermal conductivity value by means of different techniques and experimental studies plays key role in energy efficient designing of buildings. Therefore, this study concerns with the evaluation of concrete building elements from thermal insulation viewpoint.
