Abstract

Building heating systems have an important place in total energy consumption. Therefore, it is desired that the energy consumption of heating systems work with the highest efficiency. For this purpose, energy efficiency studies are frequently carried out. This paper is a review study about building heating systems. Information about heating systems is given in the review. In addition, the boiler room, boilers and boiler types, fuels are introduced. The paper also describes the losses that occur in heating systems. Finally, energy balance for heating systems, how to make an energy audit and energy saving steps are explained.
