STUDY ON BUILDING HEAT LOSS REDUCTION BY DETERMINING THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF AN INSULATION MATERIAL MADE WITH MONGOLIAN SHEEP WOOL

<p dir="ltr">Traditionally, the Mongolian have used sheep wool as insulation material in Gers or Mongolian traditional dwellings. In construction sector, which has been rapidly developing in recent years, there are opportunities to produce Mongolian brand insulating materials corresponding to local climatic conditions and use insulating materials made of sheep wool in construction fences, pipelines and structures. To determine thermal performance parameters of an insulation material made with Mongolian sheep wool according to research methodology. Sheep wool insulation material is possible to be used as a building insulation material when research work is compared with other national and international research’s work and test result of physical mechanical properties. Positive result was identified regarding air pollution and health effect if the material is used in building. Determination of sheep wool insulation material’s required thickness, real thermal resistance, heat conductivity at Mongolian climate condition specifically at heating degree days is highly useful to reduce building heat loss. It enables to reduce heat loss, of the buildings at the various residential provinces in the Mongolia and to create healthy environment by reducing air pollution. It’s health positive effect and effect on 45% of air pollution reduction were identified by this research.</p>
