Abstract:
Clay brick is one of the most widely used conventional materials in the masonry construction throughout the world. Despite living in cement age, bricks still have a defined space in our societies. Clay bricks are good for construction activities in dry zones because of its better thermal insulation and moisture control properties. With around 39 percent of the home’s energy use going towards maintaining a pleasant temperature, it has become increasingly important to build a home that will minimize the energy required for heating and cooling, from both a cost savings and sustainability perspective [1]. Bricks made with clay material can be the better option to neutralize the above condition since bricks offer superior thermal mass.
