ÖZ ENERGY REQUIREMENTS FOR HEATING AND COOLING FOR HOUSING DEPENDING ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF WINDOW, INSULATION MATERIALS AND RENEWABLE FUEL ABSTRACTIn this study, heating and cooling requirements, and energy consumption are calculated taking into account the characteristics of window type, insulation and renewable fuels of a sample house which locates in northern western province of Turkey called Balıkesir that is in the second region according to TS 825 which is a Turkish Standard of thermal insulation in buildings. Glass wool in the housing roof; extruded polystyrene, expanded polystyrene, polyurethane foam at the outer walls; and rock wool insulation materials are used for the flooring. Optimal insulation thickness is taken into account for the roofs, external walls and floors as heating and cooling periods are considering together. As a fuel for heating period, a significant amount of usage of geothermal energy in Balıkesir; olive kernel and wood as biomass; and electricity has been taken into consideration during the cooling. Depending on the window heating and cooling energy requirements is calculated for the single glazed, double glazed, and various woodwork window conditions. Calculations are made based on degree-day methods, and life-cycle cost analysis.
