What is Thermal Insulation?
Because thermal insulation systems minimize all types of heat transfer within buildings, they are extremely effective not only for heating buildings in winter but also for cooling them in summer. It’s important to consider that the energy required for cooling buildings is, on average, four times more costly than heating them.
Furthermore, properly applied thermal insulation not only saves energy but also contributes to reducing carbon emissions by reducing environmental impact. By preventing thermal bridges and preventing condensation and moisture problems, buildings’ lifespans are extended and healthy and sustainable living spaces are created.

Why Is Thermal Insulation Important?
Approximately half of the energy produced globally is consumed in buildings. The biggest driver of energy consumption is preventing heat loss. Thermal insulation is undoubtedly the most economical way to prevent heat loss.
Thermal insulation is crucial because it both saves energy and improves indoor comfort. Inadequately insulated buildings consume more energy during the winter months because heat quickly escapes. Similarly, in the summer, warm air entering the building increases cooling costs.
Thermal insulation prevents these energy losses, reducing both heating and cooling costs. It also minimizes environmental impacts by providing energy efficiency. Insulation also reduces long-term maintenance costs and helps preserve building materials.
Preserves Structural Strength: Prevents deformations caused by temperature fluctuations.
Provides Energy Savings: Reduces energy costs by preventing heat loss.
Healthy and Comfortable Environment: Prevents moisture and mold growth.
Environmentally Friendly: Reduces carbon emissions through energy efficiency.

Which Products Are Used When Doing Thermal Insulation?
The most common materials used for thermal insulation are thermal insulation boards. These boards are generally made from materials such as EPS (expanded polystyrene), XPS (extruded polystyrene), and rockwool. EPS and XPS are lightweight and durable materials, widely used in exterior cladding. Rockwool, on the other hand, is preferred in high-rise buildings due to its fire resistance. Corner profiles, dowels, adhesive mortars, and plaster materials are also important products used for thermal insulation. Material selection should be based on the climatic conditions of the building’s location and the building’s characteristics.
Thermal insulation materials used in wall, floor, and roof applications include:
Glasswool, Rockwool, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), Extruded Polystyrene (XPS), Polyurethane (PUR), Wood Wool Boards, Expanded Perlite (EPB), Expanded Cork (ICB), and Wood Fiber Boards.
Each material has properties suitable for different building elements, and when selected correctly, maximum efficiency is achieved.

Things You Wonder About Thermal Insulation
If thermal insulation is not applied, heat losses in buildings increase, and condensation leads to moisture and mold formation. Freeze–thaw damage may develop in reinforced concrete elements, the structural strength of the building’s load-bearing system decreases, and overall energy efficiency is significantly reduced.
The duration of ETICS applications made with EPS thermal insulation boards varies depending on the size of the building and the characteristics of the area to be processed. After the necessary surface preparations are completed on the surfaces to be insulated, the process begins by bonding the thermal insulation materials to the surface using adhesive and mechanical fixing. Over these materials, ETICS plaster and decorative plaster layers are applied, followed by the painting process.
For the subsequent stages of the ETICS system application package, certain curing or drying periods must be observed — for example, doweling is typically done one day after bonding the insulation boards. The total duration may extend depending on weather conditions and the method applied, as estimated by the implementing team.
Properly installed thermal insulation can reduce energy consumption by 30% to 50%. This directly reflects on heating and cooling bills, providing significant long-term savings.
No. Thermal insulation not only prevents heat loss during winter but also blocks excessive heat from entering interiors in summer. In this way, it ensures comfort throughout all four seasons.
The choice of material varies depending on the application area. While rock wool or EPS is preferred for roofs and exterior facades, XPS is more suitable for floors and foundations.
Certain auxiliary materials are used to mount and fix thermal insulation boards. These include adhesive mortars, plastering mortars, decorative plaster primers, decorative plasters, reinforcement meshes, corner profiles, and dowels. These materials ensure that the insulation is more durable and long-lasting.
There are several methods of applying thermal insulation in buildings. The most common method in our country is the ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite System), commonly known as façade cladding. ETICS with EPS boards applied to the building’s exterior façade effectively prevents heat loss and helps maintain a healthy indoor temperature.
Of course, leaving the thermal insulation process to professional experts is always the best choice. Many factors need to be evaluated — from the selection of materials to the quality of the insulation boards. Proper planning and high-quality application ensure long-lasting efficiency and comfort.
It is a standard established to ensure energy efficiency in buildings in Türkiye. This standard is used to calculate the amount of energy required to minimize heating and cooling demands in buildings. It provides detailed information and calculation methods regarding how thermal insulation should be applied during the construction phase of a building.
Türkiye is divided into six different climatic regions in terms of thermal insulation. For each region, calculations are made based on specific average temperature and solar radiation values. This standard has been made mandatory to ensure energy-efficient buildings and to support environmental sustainability.
The revision works for the TS 825 Standard were carried out in 2024. Additions were made to include the calculation of cooling requirements, and steps were taken to improve energy limits. As a result of the revision committee’s studies, the standard now allows for the consideration of both cooling and heating needs during the design stage.
With these updates, new energy limits have been redefined by the relevant ministry according to a new methodology addressing both heating and cooling. Additionally, the number of climate zones was increased to six, and the recommended U-values were improved to achieve better energy performance and thermal comfort.
