SIMULATION OF NATURAL GAS SAVING THROUGH FOAM LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE UTILIZATION IN RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS

摘要: Heat loss through walls in houses is remarkable and it shares about 25% of total loss. Utilizing Foam Lightweight Concrete (FLC) block may lead to reduction both gas consumption greenhouse emissions. This due heat insulation property the consequently less energy consumption. The main objective this research was investigate how FLC can save natural usage within building envelop. A typical residential simulated for pressed brick, terra-cotta block, 3D panel, by utilizing Behsazan software. Afterwards, relevant carbon dioxide emissions were compared abovementioned wall materials, while area constant its height variable. Results showed that annual attributed with different heights varies from 25.7% 30.6% 18.5% 23.3% comparison brick walls, respectively. panel 4.6%. Moreover, CO2 emission depending on number floors equal 20.8 24, 15 18.3, 3.4 3.8 kg CO2/m2,
