Examining the current positioning of structures, it is indisputable that they play a significant role in the energy consumption landscape under present circumstances. The inadequacy of thermal resistance in a building's external walls, insufficient heat retention, the selection of elements with high thermal permeability, or the construction of uninsulated buildings are vital contributors to this consumption. Despite numerous efforts to diminish thermal permeability, the primary objective is to establish a natural, sustainable, highly effective, and cost-efficient insulation solution. Bamboo fibres emerge as a promising material for fulfilling this objective. Despite their known characteristics, such as a water-retaining and flexible structure, lightweight, and low density, bamboo fibres have demonstrated effectiveness in terms of thermal resistance. This study aims to validate enhancements in thermal transfer behaviour by incorporating 2% by weight of bamboo fibre, a natural fibre, into the briquette mortar. The investigation employs a standardised coheating test methodology to generate thermal resistance data, shedding light on the efficacy of this approach. Comparisons are drawn between the thermal performance of the bamboo-infused briquette mortar and an uninsulated briquette, considered as a reference from prior research. The data reveals that the total heat transfer coefficient (U-value) for the uninsulated briquette stands at 5.5 W/mK, while the U-value for the briquette with 2% bamboo content is determined as 5.26 W/mK. In light of these findings, the achieved improvement is noted to be approximately 5%.
