Abstract

Abstract One of the most effective techniques that is used for energy wastage in buildings is heat insulation. It is possible due to this application to minimize the fuel quantity and accordingly tolerate toxic emissions by finding the optimum point that gives the maximum efficiency. This study was conducted for Jaipur province in Indian climate geography. Climatic characteristics of the region are Mid-Latitude Steppe and Desert Climate (Bsh). Energy need and heat losses in exterior wall were determined by accepting cooling degree day value as T > 24 °C. Optimum insulation thickness, payback period, annual return and annual return rate for XPS and EPS of two different insulating materials respectively are 0.0383–0.0731, 2.35–1.79, 10.95–12.92, 46.84–37.25.
