Indoor thermal performance of an office building using Conventional Brick Versus Interlocking Compressed Earth Brick (ICEB) wall

In recent years, the growing interest in using earth as modern wall material has mushroomed. However, the study on its indoor thermal environmental impact is still lacking Thus, this study was meant to investigate and compare the resulting indoor thermal performance of an office building d...
