Resumen

Searching new environmentally friendly materials is a goal in the construction area. This sector is one of the most pollutant sectors due to the largenumber of raw materials and the high amount of energy it requires [1,2], so it is necessary to look for ways to reduce this environmental impact.In this work, the use of walnut and hazelnut shells as raw material to produce insulating materials, mainly thermal insulation, is proposed. Theseinsulating panels could be used in houses or buildings. In addition, bone glue and beeswax, which are natural binders and have been obtained in anecological way, will be used as binders. Tests have been carried out combining different ecological materials and changing the ratio used and theirthermal conductivity coefficient has been measured.
