Original Abstract

Natural fibre based thermal insulating materials belong to progressive building materials representing one of the possible ways in sustainable development and which are characterised with low carbon trace and low value of primary bound energy. In case of industrially produced insulating materials (for instance using thermal connection method) the insulating materials based on natural fibres showed comparable properties with industrially produced insulating materials on building markets. In the view of thermal insulating properties the natural insulating material show slightly different behavior in comparison with synthetic insulating materials which is caused by fibrous structure of insulating materials and low thermal conductivity of natural fibres (contrary to glass or mineral fibres). The paper describes results of research oriented on study of heat propagation within materials based on natural fibres originated from agriculture and stockbreeding.

Keywords

Natural fibers, thermal conductivity, heat transfer, hygrothermal behavior.
