The study investigates the thermal properties of different insulating material used in building construction in Ijebu Ode, a tropical rainforest region, south western, Nigeria. Five insulating material; asbestos, Plaster of Paris (P.O.P), PolyVinyl Chloride (PVC), hardboard and paperboard, were subjected to thermal investigation using Lee’s disc electrical method. The result obtained showed that the thermal conductivities obtained are within the range of values specified for good insulating materials. Asbestos was found to be associated with the least thermal conductivity of the value 𝟎. 𝟏𝟕𝟏𝟕 𝑾𝒎-𝟏𝑲-𝟏while PVC had the highest thermal conductivity values of 𝟏. 𝟔𝟒𝟗𝟗 𝑾𝒎-𝟏𝑲-𝟏. This may be associated with the temperature and the heat flux on the surface of the material. The results obtained for thermal conductivity, thermal resistivity and thermal diffusivity correlated favourably when compared with those of previous work from other locations. Asbestos being the material with the lowest thermal conductivity is therefore recommended for use as the suitable insulating ceiling material in the study area. Keywords: thermal conductivity, diffusivity, resistivity, Lee’s disc

In this study, three commercially available innerwears were collected from the market. Their air permeability and thermal properties were evaluated by Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabric (KES-F). Exerimental results revealed that the fibre content played an important role in affecting the air permeability and the thermal properties of the innerwears.

In this paper we present measurements and measurement methods carried out on construction and building materials in our Building Physics laboratory in University of Debrecen, Faculty of Engineering, Hungary. The investigations with different methods are so significant from the point of view of thermal sizing and designing of the buildings. The laboratory measurements of the thermal properties of materials and in-built structures are very important either for the manufacturers or the designers. In this communication the measurement result are presented. Thermal conductivities will be calculated after steady state thermal resistance measurements both from Calibration hot box (CC) and Heat Flux measurements carried out by Hukseflux (HF) apparatus. Calorific values of some insulating materials will be presented after combusting them in a CAL2K ECO type bomb calorimeter.
