| Abstract | The objective of the study was to carry out research on evaluating conduction coefficient of building materials produced by Habitech Center located in AIT campus. The performance of the walls built with the same materials was also studied. Several experiments were done as part of the study. The thermal conduction coefficient (k- Value) of two types of materials; Soil brick and Concrete brick was evaluated after experiments and analysis. It was found that the conduction coefficient (k- Value) of soil brick is higher than that of concrete brick. In building performance evaluating, the concrete can resist the heat flow than the soil wall can do |
