Bamboo is used in different scenarios of application, its physical and mechanical
characteristics guarantee a high flexibility of use especially in the buildings constructions. The
experience gained in civil constructions demonstrates that bamboo can be considered a
sustainable material able to replace wood in many constructive elements with structural functions.
The applications of bamboo aimed at carrying out structural functions are thoroughly studied. For
this reason the present research focuses on the thermal insulation performance. To ensure an
approach focused on the sustainability of potential exploitation, the research examined only local
material coming from three bamboo fields located in the Tuscany region (Italy). The material
harvested and suitably treated was utilized for the realization of two different kind of wall,
undergone later to experimental tests in compliance with the ISO 9869 standard for the
calculation of the transmittance values. The measure of transmittance enabled to know the
characteristics of thermal conduction of bamboo walls. The first wall was made of cut throw
longitudinal axis bamboo culms; the second one was made of cut throw longitudinal axis bamboo
culms coated in internal face with a sustainable mortar. The test was carried out using insulating
thermal box with internal temperature under control.
The calculation of the transmittance in place was compared with the images captured by thermal
camera. Thermal imagine allowed to highlight the behaviour of the material subjected to a thermal
stress induced by the experimental test.
