Abstract:

The damage to the environment by fossil fuels is quite high. Air pollution causes more than 3 million deaths each year. This ratio corresponds to 5% of the world’s annual mortality rate. The houses located in Izmir are at the level of 6.6% of the total housing stock in Turkey. In the literature, the annual fuel and electricity consumption of houses on the provincial basis is calculated with the data officially recorded for greenhouse gas emissions. These calculations do not distinguish the energy consumption of heating, hot water, household items (fridge, air conditioning, washing and washing machine, straw, oven, etc.) In this study, the different types of walls, fuel and insulation materials for the island of Izmir were calculated using a new method for heating energy demand and per person emissions. The reviewed fuels are natural gas and imported coal, respectively. Compressed polystyrene (XPS) and extended polystyrene (EPS) have been studied as insulation materials. The wall type has been studied as the outer-isolated wall (1TDYD) and the sandwich wall (2TSD). The amount of carbon dioxide released from the unit area (IDBASCM) and the amount of carbon dioxide released from the unit area (IDBASKM) according to the gender of the wall, fuel and insulation material and without isolation compared the impact of the OYK on the environment and energy was first given to the literature by making for İzmir. Depending on different fuels, insulation materials and wall shapes, energy demand and IDBASCM reduction could reach a level of 76%. Two new approaches have been introduced: the amount of carbon dioxide per person in the heating period (IDKBCM) and the amount of carbon dioxide per person in the heating period (IDKBKM). In 1TDYD according to XPS and OYK and in case of coal use as fuel; IDKBCM’s 836 kg/person year, IDKBKM’s 7196 kg person/heating period in an isolated apartment, 1727 kg person/heating period according to OYK is calculated.
