Due to our dependency to foreign sources in energy, the importance of energy efficiency to use the energy effectively and efficiently continues to increase. By significantly lowering the consumption in buildings with various applications,
it is possible to contribute to our households, country, and world economy. Building insulation is one of the easiest and fast acting solutions in this regard. Correct insulation provides a more comfortable and healthy life by lowering the energy consumed in buildings while also preventing the negative effects of the buildings on environment. With this product, we wish for the number of insulated buildings in our country to increase.”.

Speaking with regards to shopping loan usable in Izocam insulation materials, Izocam General Director Murat Savcı said that only 20% of the building stock in Turkey has qualified insulation, but the buildings can achieve the required climate and comfort terms quickly with thermal insulation whether it’s summer or winter, and additionally more than 60% saving in energy use can be made. Savcı said: “While the insulation materials provide thermal and acoustic comfort, and fire safety, they also contribute to the community and country economy by lengthening the life of the building. In addition, they provide a significant contribution regarding the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Now with the all buildings requiring the obligatory Energy Identity Certification, we know that this certification is needed to be declared when buying and selling buildings. For new buildings to get at least C class certification, thermal insulation is very important.
