SUSTAINABLE BUILDING, THERMAL DELAY ANALYSIS OF COMPRESSED EARTH BLOCKS

This article is the result of research that addresses the issue the thermal properties of the Compressed Earth Blocks (CEB), to corroborate the benefits of this alternative building material, on the conventional materials, to verify that these materials can meet the needs of the population in the construction of their homes worthy, improving the quality of life of the user and producing a lower environmental impact. Considering the use of CEB as a unit of analysis, developed with materials from the area of southern Tamaulipas, proving its advantages as natural regulator of temperature against the concrete block and brick annealing of the region, who are employed in the field of housing construction. Thermal testing carried out were simulating the effect of the sun on a wall, the temperature recorded during the tests determined the delay in the thermal walls depending on the material. That is how, with the result of the tests will be determined which is the optimum material for use as housing surround.
