“…Hasan [4] used life-cycle cost analysis to determine optimum insulation thicknesses for rock wool and polystyrene insulation. Al-Turki and Zaki [7] obtained the effect of insulation and energy storing layers by the cooling load. Their study demonstrated that dispersion of the insulation within the building material is less effective than using a continuous equivalent insulation layer placed on the outdoor facade in reducing the cooling loads.…”

“…Recent concerns of energy conservation and awareness of the limited energy resources encouraged revisiting the problem of thermal insulation. Most of the available studies focus on the optimum insulation thickness for buildings [3][4][5], for refrigeration applications [6,7] and for cold stores [8][9][10] because of the large potential for energy savings. All these studies emphasized that thermal insulation is a requirement for energy saving.…”

In this paper, eQUEST simulation tool is used to study of the effect of varying the insulation type (polysterene, polyurethane, and polyisocyanurate) and thickness on heat space energy consumption. Different thicknesses have been used in three scenarios for each type of insulation material, small, medium and large. The simulation was performed by using the eQUEST software, this software which has been proved by previous researchers to be the closest to the real recorded values for energy consumption. A comparison between the thicknesses variation with the same insulation and the heat space energy consumed, as well as the comparison between different types of insulation with the same thickness, and heating energy are investigated. Results of the simulation show that when increasing the thickness of insulation gradually results in a decrease of energy consumed, but after a certain thickness the percentage of energy saved will increase very slowly until saturation.

In this study, the effects of air gap on the optimum insulation thickness, insulation, and total costs, energy saving, payback period, fuel consumption, and emissions of CO 2 and SO 2 in the composite wall construction have been investigated for a prototype building in a sample city, Karabuk. For this reason two wall constructions, one with and the other without air gap, have been considered and the air gap thickness has been taken from 0 to 6 cm. Based on LCC analysis, optimum insulation thickness is determined for different air gap thicknesses. The results show that when 2, 4, and 6 cm of the air gap thicknesses were used; the optimum insulation thickness, insulation cost, and payback period were decreased by 10.02, 20.03, and 30.07% while the total cost, fuel consumption, and CO 2 and SO 2 emissions were decreased by 27.5, 44.98, and 54.46%, respectively. The insulation material installed at its optimum insulation thickness with air gaps in the composite wall will not only reduce the heat loss from the building walls but also has economical and environmental advantages.
