Özet
Improving energy efficiency in buildings is critical for reducing global energy consumption and minimizing environmental impacts. The thermal conductivity properties of building materials are one of the key parameters that directly affect heat transfer through the building envelope. Therefore, determining the thermal performance of materials using reliable methods is essential for developing energy-efficient building solutions. In this study, a low-cost and user-friendly measurement system was designed and prototyped to determine the thermal conductivity coefficient of different building materials, primarily concrete. The developed experimental setup consists of an insulated measurement chamber, an electric heater with controlled power output, a Pt100 temperature sensor placed on the back surface of the sample, and a thermal camera component that displays the front surface temperature with high accuracy. A stable temperature gradient was created throughout the sample, and the thermal conductivity coefficient of the material was obtained using a calculation method based on heat transfer principles. The system is manufactured using readily available and economical components, significantly reducing measurement costs compared to traditional laboratory equipment. Furthermore, the developed setup provides an infrastructure capable of evaluating the thermal behavior of building materials with different physical properties in a fast, reliable, and repeatable manner. Thanks to these features, it serves as a practical experimental platform that can be used in the R&D processes of energy-efficient new building materials. The findings obtained show that the designed measurement system constitutes an effective, low-cost, and applicable alternative for determining thermal conductivity. Such accessible measurement approaches contribute to the development of sustainable building technologies and support energy efficiency goals in the construction industry.
