“…A great number of papers was focused on the use of waste as new raw matter to produce thermal insulators [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. The by-products mainly used can be divided into two groups: the materials derived from the urban waste as plastic components, paper and cardboard waste and the biomass, sourced from natural and organic waste, as straw and olive pruning waste.…”

Interest in sustainable building materials is recently growing up due to the environmental pollution and the consequent need to reduce energy consumption. The building sector alone is responsible of the major share of the total energy expenditure mainly due to the indoor heating and cooling. This huge amount of energy can be reduced by choosing efficient thermal insulators based on renewable and natural sources. Among the bio-based components the by-products derived from the wood industry or, alternatively, from the food industry residues can represents a serious challenge towards the revaluation of wastes. On the other side the use of paper pulp originated from recycled paper and cardboard can be considered a valid alternative to the traditional components currently present on market. Here an effort has been made to realize a sustainable insulting panel using different recycled components: paper pulp, coffee pods and sawdust powder. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the thermal performances of the recycled-waste based panels. The measurements of the dry-state thermal conductivity, the thermal diffusivity and the volumetric heat capacity were performed by a transient plane source device. Furthermore, a numerical simulation was carried out to perform the hygrothermal behaviour of the best mix for the final experimental insulation panel.

Green building materials have brought fundamental changes to the traditional construction methods, enabling better environmental protection and energy-saving performance of the buildings. However, due to the various material types and the large property differences, until now there isn’t a uniform evaluation index system (EIS) for green building materials, the existing studies on the green-level evaluation of green building materials during production and use are insufficient, and the research on energy-saving design is just getting started. For this reason, this paper attempted to launch a research on the multi-objective energy-saving optimization design of buildings based on the application of green building materials. First, the quantification method for the environmental impact factors of green building materials was elaborated, and the intervals and standards of the quantification evaluation were given; then, a green building material optimization selection model was constructed, and a multi-objective energy-saving optimization algorithm was proposed; at last, experimental results gave the green levels of a few candidate green building materials and the scores of the environmental impact factors, which had verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
