This work aimed to measure the hygrothermal properties of some different straw-based mix that could be used as building materials (panels or bricks). Straw is used to improve the hygrothermal performances of the final products. Several mix were produced adding different percentages of straw. Two types of fibers were used: wheat straw and bean straw. The results indicated that increasing the percentages of straw greater effects on the change of thermal properties can be appreciated. Furthermore the results also reveal that the specimen produced by water glass and straw, without binder, has the highest values of hygric properties and thermal insulation.
