AN EVALUATION OF THE POST-DISASTER HOUSES BUILT IN DINAR AFTER THE 1995 EARTHQUAKE IN TERMS OF THEIR CONFORMITY WITH THE TURKISH THERMAL INSULATION STANDARD (TS 825)

Residential and industrial buildings in Turkey consume a great amount of energy, with 27% of the energy consumed in housing being for the purpose of heating. In this study, the post-disaster housing project conducted in villages of Dinar is examined in terms of its conformity with the Thermal Insulation Regulations contained within the TS 825 Thermal Insulation Standard in Buildings. The research is carried out using the Izoder TS 825 calculator, through which the current conformity of the project to the Thermal Insulation Standard in Buildings has been examined. As a result, the project has been updated to meet the standard in three separate steps: The glass wool ceiling insulation has been increased from 5cm to 12cm; 8cm expanded polystyrene foam has been used on the walls; and 7cm thick extruded polystyrene foam has been used on the “slab-on-grade” foundation. The saving in the annual heating energy requirement for the building (Q) was found to be 296.68 kWh/m², with dissipation occurring due to conductivity of the construction elements (HT) by 247.8 W/K; and the amount of fuel required per unit volume or unit area decreasing by 4,137.08 kg.
