Customized Insulation Strategies for Türkiye: Life Cycle Cost Analysis and Impact on Business Competitiveness

Saygın, Muhammet | Say, Fuat Serkan | Öztürk, İsmail Yavuz

A significant portion of energy consumption in buildings is allocated to heating, with substantial losses resulting from inadequate insulation, poor sealing, and thermal bridging. While proper insulation plays a crucial role in mitigating these losses, determin- ing its optimal thickness is essential to reduce energy consumption and increase energy efficiency. This study employs life cycle cost analysis and average heating degree day values to calculate the optimum insulation thickness for 81 provinces in Türkiye. The findings highlight the absence of a one-fits-all insulation solution, emphasizing the need for customized approaches tailored to specific conditions that consider specific factors, such as environmental conditions, heating sources, costs, economic parameters and the materials used. Proper insulation application is projected to reduce carbon emissions by 90% and lower annual heating costs by approximately 65%. These energy efficiency improvements are particularly significant for both households and businesses, enhancing profitability and competitiveness. Collaborative efforts to promote proper insulation solutions are anticipated to reallocate financial resources toward innovation and contribute to long-term business sustainability. This study provides an important f...

A Step towards Sustainable Education: Does an Entrepreneurial Teacher Nurture Creativity?

Saygın, Muhammet | Say, Serkan | Öztürk, İsmail Yavuz

This study explores the relationship between teachers’ entrepreneurial behaviors and their creativity-nurturing behaviors, with a particular emphasis on sustainability in education. While previous studies have typically examined entrepreneurship and creativity as separate concepts, often focusing on their individual dimensions, this study underscores the significance of integrating entrepreneurial and creative competencies to promote sustainable educational practices. By highlighting how teachers’ entrepreneurial and creative skills contribute to sustainable education, this study addresses the broader impact these competencies have on meeting the evolving needs and expectations of students, families, and society. This approach supports the development of a more resilient and adaptive education system that can thrive over time. The research involved 1396 classroom teachers from the Mersin province of Turkey. Analysis of the data revealed a strong positive correlation between teachers’ entrepreneurial behaviors and their creativity-nurturing behaviors, indicating that teachers who exhibit higher levels of entrepreneurial traits are more likely to engage in practices that foster creativity or that teachers who exhibit higher levels of creativity nurturing behaviors are more likely t...
