Original Abstract

Thermal insulation materials based on natural fibres are some of the promising materials that are currently emerging on the construction market. These materials are important especially in terms of sustainable development, since they utilise renewable raw material resources or secondary materials and their production does not consume too much energy. However, a problem with these materials is the rather different behaviour during heat and moisture transport compared with conventional insulation, which is made from synthetic (foam polystyrene) or inorganic (mineral wool) materials. The paper presents the results of a practical investigation into the process of heat transfer through the structure of thermal insulation materials based on natural fibres.
