Abstract. The thermal design of affordable housing in M alaysia could be ineffective and resulting from this, the majority of their occupants are not satisfied with the thermal comfort levels provided. To overcome this issue of thermal performance of building envelope, the development of sustainable blocks has been done. The blocks have been developed using locally available sustainable waste materials. The materials utilized were mainly procured from agro-industrial waste (oil palm industry) and municipal waste (waste glass). The aim of the research was to provide a better performing material for low cost houses replacing the conventional red clay bricks. In this research, the physical, mechanical and thermal performance of the sustainable building blocks were examined and compared with existing conventional building blocks. The experimental findings revealed that the newly developed Sustainable blocks have better thermal performance as compared to conventional burnt clay bricks. However, the physico-mechanical performance complies with various standard practices thus proving to be a sustainable wall material.

“…planning, design and execution-are generally governed by financial interests rather than environmental issues (Abreu et al 2008). For instance, the process used to manufacture construction materials such as cement and lime has a deteriorating effect on the environment, as the production of one ton of cement alone emits around one ton of CO 2 (Khedari et al 2005). Additionally, up to 7% of the world's CO 2 emissions is caused by the production of ordinary Portland cement (Dessy et al 2011).…”

“…In the concern of reducing energy consumption which is increasing rapidly in recent years in the construction sector, the researchers are investigating the problem of optimizing the rational use of energy, specifically in construction, posing the problem of optimal thermal insulation of buildings which bring our interest [1][2][3]. The principle of the construction based till now on the juxtaposition of different materials each having a devoted task.…”

The development of porous materials requires a thorough knowledge of their physical properties. When used as thermal insulation, the properties that govern their insulating capacity are thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat. The presence of moisture, some of its origin, in buildings causes damage to walls that extend from the formation of mold in complete impregnation through the degradation of the thermal and mechanical performance. The major objective of this study is to determine the physical properties of a building material lightened by vegetable fiber (concrete pomace olive), used as an insulation bearer. Our goal is to develop and expand the field of use of these materials in construction. A judicious choice of additions proportions and implementation techniques will be considered. A particular interest is the thermal characteristics and mechanical strength, which is a decisive criterion for selecting a material in the construction. We determine the thermal conductivity of the materials studied with experimental equipment that allows us to make measurements of the thermal properties under actual use conditions (temperature and humidity) and also the study of the mechanical compressive strength of the materials studied and the interest in these materials is highlighted.
