Insulating Building Components Made from a Mixture of Waste and Vegetal Materials: Thermal Characterization of Nine New Products

Nowadays, energy efficiency and sustainability are the fulcra of building policies. These policies promote use new technologies materials that can reduce primary involved environmental costs construction, guarantying at same time a high level comfort for building’s occupants. Synergy between previous construction techniques should be pursued by employing with low impact optimal thermal insulation properties. Within this framework, derived from agriculture sector, waste or recycling products industrial/agricultural sectors have been studied. The aim paper is to contribute field analysing properties environmentally friendly composited vegetal their applications within sector. Measurements conductivity nine different samples carried out, obtaining promising results suggesting these used as feasible alternatives traditionally insulation. However, further analyses certainly recommended, assess samples’ structural influence pre-treatments on samples.
