Abstract
This work has identified the optimum thickness of the wall built by these unfired earth bricks. (It was 0.3âm for two types of bricks and for the other one was 0.4âm.) This thickness ensures the greatest heat capacity and a thermal lag between 10 and 12 hours, while taking into account the quantity of bricks necessary for the construction of such a wall and the habitable area.
