In this study, economic and environmental impact of thermal insulation have been determined for building wall in the cities of İzmir, İstanbul, Ankara, and Erzurum, located in different climates of Turkey. Three different realistic scenarios have been determined and the analysis have been carried out through these scenarios. The calculations have been made considering four different insulation materials, expanded polystyrene (EPS), glass wool (GW) rock wool (RW) and extruded polystyrene (XPS). Environmental assessments have been carried out by the life cycle assessment (LCA) method for all scenarios. Environmental analysis were carried out by combining 17 environmental effects with the ReCiPe method. The novelty of this study is the determination of environmental payback periods by combining 17 environmental effects using the ReCiPe method. As a result, economic payback times for all scenarios have the lowest value for RW. While the lowest environmental payback period was found as EPS, the highest environmental payback period was found as XPS for all scenarios. The highest economic payback time was assessed at XPS for all scenarios. The thermal insulation material with the highest economic payback period was found as XPS for all scenarios. It has been observed that thermal insulation is more effective in colder climates in terms of economic and annual avoided environmental impact. In all scenarios, environmental payback period was found to be considerably lower than economic payback period.

在这项研究中，已经确定了位于土耳其不同气候的伊兹密尔，伊斯坦布尔，安卡拉和埃尔祖鲁姆等城市的建筑墙体的隔热对经济和环境的影响。确定了三种不同的现实方案，并已通过这些方案进行了分析。计算时考虑了四种不同的隔热材料，即发泡聚苯乙烯（EPS），玻璃棉（GW）岩棉（RW）和挤塑聚苯乙烯（XPS）。已通过生命周期评估（LCA）方法对所有方案进行了环境评估。通过将17种环境影响与ReCiPe方法相结合进行了环境分析。这项研究的新颖之处在于使用ReCiPe方法结合17种环境影响来确定环境投资回收期。结果，所有方案的经济回报时间具有最低的RW价值。对于所有方案，发现最低的环境投资回收期为EPS，而最高的环境投资回收期为XPS。XPS评估了所有方案的最高经济回报时间。在所有情况下，发现经济回报期最高的隔热材料均为XPS。已经观察到，就经济和每年避免的环境影响而言，在寒冷的气候中，绝热更有效。在所有情况下，发现环境投资回收期都大大低于经济投资回收期。在所有情况下，最高的环境投资回收期都被称为XPS。XPS评估了所有方案的最高经济回报时间。在所有情况下，发现经济回报期最高的隔热材料均为XPS。已经观察到，就经济和每年避免的环境影响而言，在寒冷的气候中，绝热更有效。在所有情况下，发现环境投资回收期都大大低于经济投资回收期。在所有情况下，最高的环境投资回收期都被称为XPS。XPS评估了所有方案的最高经济回报时间。在所有情况下，发现经济回报期最高的隔热材料均为XPS。已经观察到，就经济和每年避免的环境影响而言，在寒冷的气候中，绝热更有效。在所有情况下，发现环境投资回收期都大大低于经济投资回收期。已经观察到，就经济和每年避免的环境影响而言，在寒冷的气候中，绝热更有效。在所有情况下，发现环境投资回收期都大大低于经济投资回收期。已经观察到，就经济和每年避免的环境影响而言，在寒冷的气候中，绝热更有效。在所有情况下，发现环境投资回收期都大大低于经济投资回收期。
