Eco-efficient construction and building materials research under the EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020 (2014, background): “Still natural insulation materials require low manufacture energy and they can be easily disposed of at the end of their life cycle by composting or by recovering their calorific value in a furnace [30].”
A review of unconventional sustainable building insulation materials (2015, background): “17 W/mK and a density of 753 kg/m(3) [68].”
Mechanical, thermal and acoustical characterizations of an insulating bio-based composite made from sunflower stalks particles and chitosan (2014, background): “…other ecofriendly insulating materials available on the market, namely hemp concrete ( between 0.17 and 0.48 W m−1 K−1), coconut husk insulation boards ( = 0.081 W m−1 K−1) and date palm fibers insulation boards ( = 0.15 W m−1 K−1) (Chikhi et al., 2013; Elfordy et al., 2008 and Evon et al., 2014).”
