Abstract

In harsh climates like Iraq, characterized by extreme temperatures and energy shortages, dynamic insulation technology holds great potential to significantly reduce energy consumption and enhance thermal comfort. Dynamic insulation technology reduces building energy consumption by adjusting thermal conductivity based on climate changes. This article reviews existing literature and numerically evaluates the effectiveness of dynamic insulation technology in buildings subject to harsh climates, specifically focusing on the case of Iraq. The first part of our articles aims to provide a comprehensive overview of dynamic insulation technology and its potential effectiveness in Iraqi structures subject to intermittent heating and cooling. The collected data guides the design and implementation of future studies and experiments. The study predicts the dynamic insulation performance of an office in Baghdad compared to conventional insulation, considering factors such as lighting, number of residents, equipment, and solar gains. The results indicate that applying dynamic insulation techniques in Iraqi buildings can reduce energy consumption by 28% during the heating season and 11% during the cooling season. Implementing this technology can make a significant contribution towards creating a more sustainable and comfortable environment in harsh climates, examined in Iraqi buildings, as a model case. Practical Applications: The study contributes to the evaluation of dynamic insulation technology in Iraqi buildings. Focusing on Iraq's harsh climate provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of this technology. Scientifically based recommendations guide the design of buildings in such environments. In addition, the study investigates the performance of intermittent cooling and heating, ensuring practicality. Overall, it enables professionals to create sustainable and efficient built environments in Iraq.
