Investigation on waste materials as thermal insulation for building

Wall insulation is one of the most important things that can keep the surrounding temperature of the homes or any building suitable. It helps in maintaining the human comfort. The wall thermal insulation besides of keeping the area comfortable it may also help to achieve a reduction in consumption o...

The aim of this research is to choose a potential material to be as a future thermal insulation. It focuses on waste materials such as coconut coir and cellulose. This research takes these two materials to test and analyses them using reconfigurable model house Marcraft GT-7500 and compare them with the results that have been gotten from common thermal insulations by making an experimental test for all these materials.
