Objectives of the Course
|
Explaining the principles of heat transfer and their influence on building energy performance and comfort.
Implementing calculation techniques for U-values, R-values, and heating and cooling loads using building geometry, material properties, and climate data.
Comparing insulation materials and systems based on thermal performance, environmental impact, cost, and suitability for different applications.
Assessing and designing integrated thermal insulation and HVAC strategies that align with national and international standards (TS?825, ISO?6946, EN?13162).

Course Content
|
This course introduces the fundamentals of thermal insulation in buildings and its integration with heating and cooling system design. Topics include heat transfer principles, insulation materials, U-value and R-value calculations, and thermal bridges. Students will apply national and international standards (e.g., TS 825, ISO 6946, EN 13162) and use IZODER software for thermal insulation simulations and analysis. The course also covers heating and cooling load calculations, basic HVAC system design, and the integrated application of insulation strategies with mechanical systems for sustainable building design aimed at optimizing energy performance and indoor thermal comfort.
