|
The use of wood from forest plantations as a building material proves to be a sustainable alternative in
the field of civil construction, its use in prefabricated panels becomes interesting as a lightweight
sealing solution for more economical and optimized buildings. However, the need for thermoacoustic
insulation in these panels must be considered, and this is where the proposal of the article is inserted,
which aims to fill the gap in research on ecological insulating materials.From research in the
technical-scientific literature and in the national and international market, it was found that there are
many natural or recycled materials with suitable properties for use as insulating materials in civil construction, and even some of these are already sold abroad with competitive prices. In Brazil, this
market is still incipient, however the potential in the use of agricultural residues as insulators is
perceived, in view of the high production in the country. |
