| Abstract: | Heating and cooling of residential buildings are prime requirements in built environment for comfort of residents/ occupants. Heating and cooling accounts for 50 -70% of the energy, used in an average house. The best way to achieve the comfort zone temperature inside the building is to put the barriers in the path of the heat is being transferred inside the building by any mode i.e. conduction, convection, and radiation. Amongst all the methods, most convenient and easy method to prevent incoming heat in a building is to provide the barrier as thermal insulating materials, which impart resistance to flow of heat by conduction. Heat conduction is the major source of heating of a building and contribute maximum. In this paper a few insulating materials using agro-industrial wastes have been developed at CSIR-Central Building Research Institute, Roorkee, which are eco-friendly as green materials are described in brief. |
