Diseño y construcción de un módulo con características de aislación térmica con materiales de bajo costo

Abstract

The present work focused in the construction of a panel with thermal insulation characteristics, and low cost materials. Knowing that the thermal insulators are important and since their discovery have an essential role in the construction industry. To carry out this project started from the investigation of the characteristics and properties of the insulating materials that are offer in the market, especially the derivatives of the recycling. It also describes the process to follow in the formulation and testing of the panels in addition to the quality control according to the technical reference standards. As a result, it was obtained a panel with porous characteristics needed to achieve the thermal insulation and little dense that allow to do courts without presenting fissures or irregular surfaces, with mechanical properties comparable to the reference material that this work is gypsum. Also, obtain the unit cost of the construction panel with these characteristics and its comparison with other requirements in the market was obtained.
