Tomorrow’s Green Buildings: Optimum Natural Insulation Material Modeling
Sustaining Resources for Tomorrow, 2020Co-Authors: Lutfu S. Sua, Figen Balo, Ukbe UÇarAbstract:The structures renovation’s economical impact generally relies on the devices and energy-saving methods’ application. By wall Insulation, great economical impact is accomplished. In this regard, it is even greater than changing the windows. The wall Insulation option resolutions of structures vary in the Materials utilized, labor force spending, and other ways. The renovation’s cost based on the resolutions applied. The criteria describing the existing wall isolation options may have diverse values. Additionally, they may differ in diverse instructions, i.e., a greater value of some criteria represents a preferable situation, while for others they signify a worse state. By means of multicriteria assessment methodologies, a reconciliation variable is needed, which can be obtained in this environment. To decrease the impact of diverse methodologies on computational conclusions, it can be proposed to evaluate the phenomenon (or object) thought by a few diverse methodologies, with the detection of the average forecast value. Thus, the several special multicriteria assessment methodologies’ disadvantages could be replaced by the others’ benefits. In recent years, thermal Insulation Materials’ many styles are present in the market. The calculations made in this study by AHP multicriteria assessment methodology allowed us to determine the most effective Insulation Material option out of ten used alternatives commercial Insulation Materials. In the second stage, the most assessable Natural alternative Insulation Material among ten different uncommercial-Natural Insulation Materials is analyzed with the same methodology.

ecological impact financial feasibility of energy recovery eiffer model for Natural Insulation Material optimization
Energy and Buildings, 2017Co-Authors: Lutfu Sagbansua, Figen BaloAbstract:Abstract The buildings are major users of energy sources worldwide. The growing concerns on preserving energy as well as ecological impacts of conventional energy resources have resulted in a demand for green buildings. The Insulation of external wall has an important impact on the decrease of energy consumption in building design projects that decreases SO2–CO2 emissions. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal thickness of Natural Insulation Material in regards to heating loads at different provinces for a sandwich wall. The optimal Insulation thickness in building envelope for fourteen different provinces from two climatic regions is studied. For the region of Eastern Anatolia, payback periods, emissions of SO2–CO2, and energy savings over 10 years of lifetime, based on Insulation thickness and sensitivity analysis are calculated using three types of fuel sources (Natural gas, fuel-oil, and coal) and four of the most eco-efficient Natural Insulation Materials (Wood Fiber Plate, Wood Wool Slab, Expanded Perlite, Expanded Cork) based on global warming potential (kg CO2-Eq/kg) and water demand (l/kg). Ecological and financial analyses of Insulation Materials are conducted by an algorithm designed in LINGO optimization software. Results of sensitivity analysis display that the energy saving from Natural Insulation Materials is bigger, more effective, and the payback period is shorter for higher degree-day cities. The study shows that the application of eco-efficient Materials in buildings has the potential of substituting the conventional Materials.

WHAT IS A “Natural Insulation Material”? ASSESSMENT MODEL BASED ON THE LIFE CYCLE
2011Co-Authors: Sophie Trachte, Arnaud Evrard, Valentine Regniers, Cécile AubecqAbstract:So far, strategies to reduce the environmental impact of buildings focused on lowering the energy needs. Improving the characteristics of the building leads to a lower heating energy demand but also needs more construction Materials to be used, especially Insulation and airtightness Materials. In the Walloon Region, a system of financial subsidies for envelope Insulation has been implemented. In addition to the basic subsidy, an additional one of 3€/m² is granted if a «Natural Insulation Material» is used. « Natural Insulation Material » is currently defined by the Ministerial Decree of the Walloon Government as a Material containing 85% or more fibers originating from plants or animals, or cellulose. The present contribution aims to analyse and improve this current definition. The authors show that a pertinent choice cannot only be based on raw Materials composition but must refer to many other criteria, taking into account the whole life cycle of the Material. An assessment model and a weighting of the criteria were developed and tested on 39 generic Materials based on the data coming from available database and scientific literature.
