Abstract

Türkiye is an important producer, consumer and exporter in the poultry farming industry across the world. The poultry farming is one of the fastest growing sectors in the field of food and agriculture and has become one of the strongest sectors over time. Especially with the development of industrial sectors, the effective usage and management of energy, which is the most important issue of almost every business, has recently become an important structure in the building sector in Türkiye. This study examined optimum insulation layer thickness, energy savings, and emissions of CO2 for the exterior walls and roofs of poultry farming facilities. The study used the degree day method, which is widely used in standard insulation calculations, in accordance with broiler production. As the equilibrium temperature, the desired temperature values of broilers for each week in the 6-week period were taken as the basis (31, 29, 25, 23.50, 22.50, 20.50°C). Life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) was applied to identify the optimal values of insulation thickness in the facilities. Accordingly, the optimum insulation layer thickness, savings amount, and payback period for the walls and roofs ranged between 0.043-0.270 m and 0.022-0.094 m, 7.53-164.65 S/m2 and 12.85-319.62 S/m2, 1.19-2.19 years and 1.18-1.99 years, respectively. It has been calculated that a 70-80% reduction in CO2 emissions could be managed by applying the optimum insulation layer thickness.
