The Living Spaces of the Future: Multi-Comfort Buildings!

Multi-Comfort Buildings, developed on the basis of Passive House principles, will become more frequently encountered in the future. Urban renewal presents a significant and crucial opportunity for our country in achieving Multi-Comfort Buildings with bioclimatic design objectives. İzocam, which frequently and consistently brings up the subject of how to reach Multi-Comfort Buildings on every platform, is once again pioneering the sector with its Multi-Comfort Buildings book.

Multi-Comfort Buildings offering high energy savings, incorporating new and comfortable technology, are rapidly becoming widespread with increasing public awareness and sensitivity.

Multi-Comfort Buildings providing 90 percent energy savings, offering acoustic comfort and fire safety, contribute to both household and national economy through thermal insulation in particular, while protecting nature. According to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive published by the European Parliament, new public buildings to be constructed as of 31 December 2018, and all new buildings as of 31 December 2020, will be designed as near-zero energy buildings. İzocam, which has made social responsibility its mission to increase awareness on energy efficiency, continues to emphasize the importance of insulation in energy efficiency on every platform. Drawing attention to the importance of thermal insulation in countries like ours that import most of their energy, İzocam emphasizes that Multi-Comfort Buildings provide maximum thermal comfort along with high energy savings. İzocam characterizes the urban renewal process in which our country is engaged as an opportunity in achieving thermal comfort and providing energy efficiency. Emphasizing that Multi-Comfort Buildings are sustainable and contribute to ecology and economy, İzocam General Manager Nuri Bulut stated, "Multi-Comfort Buildings, derived from the Passive House concept, provide maximum thermal comfort along with high energy savings. These structures limit energy consumption needs to 15 kWh/m2, thus providing savings reaching 90 percent. On the other hand, as they also reduce CO2 emissions, they stand out not only with energy savings but also with their environmental aspects. These structures, which we will frequently encounter in the future, provide comfort to users due to reasons such as maintaining indoor air temperature for long periods and keeping it in balance," he said. Expressing that urban renewal is an important opportunity for our country to achieve a healthy environment, Nuri Bulut stated; "Urban renewal must be used in the most efficient way possible. Construction of new buildings with thermal and acoustic insulation, high energy efficiency, and fire safety will limit energy consumption. According to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive published by the European Parliament, as of 31 December 2020,

all new buildings will be near-zero energy buildings. The urban renewal process should also take into account this target

in the near future," he said. Referring to the fact that the National Determined Contribution (NDC) targets submitted to the UN can only be achieved through insulation, İzocam General Manager Nuri Bulut stated; "Measures to be taken in buildings to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are extremely important. The statement includes the necessity for newly constructed residential and service buildings to be constructed in compliance with the Energy Performance in Buildings Regulation and in an energy-efficient manner. On the other hand, by creating Energy Performance Certificates in buildings, the necessity of keeping greenhouse gas emissions under control and reducing energy consumption over the years is also emphasized. The NDC statement once again reminds of the necessity to develop incentive channels such as tax reductions and credit in making new and existing buildings energy efficient. In order to achieve the targets set in the NDC, the widespread implementation of green building, passive house, and zero-energy house designs with minimizing energy needs is important. Achieving passive houses mentioned in the Buildings and Urban Renewal section of the NDC is only possible through correct design and thick insulation application," he said.

İzocam's Multi-Comfort Buildings book sheds light on the sector

Today, 35 percent of total energy consumption comes from buildings. While Multi-Comfort Buildings achieve the 90 percent savings it provides through thick insulation application, it also makes a significant contribution to combating climate change. Multi-Comfort Buildings; in addition to high energy savings, provide flawless acoustic and visual comfort, quality indoor air, fire protection and safety. With all these characteristics, it occupies the center of the strategy İzocam has developed for sustainable building development. Drawing attention to the importance of insulation in achieving Multi-Comfort Buildings, İzocam continues to guide the sector with its easy-to-read "Multi-Comfort Buildings" book. Bringing the energy efficiency-insulation-Multi-Comfort Building relationship to the agenda this time with the "Multi-Comfort Buildings" book, İzocam, with this guide-like publication, also contributes to raising public awareness.
