EN The application of natural materials is a requirement of sustainable construction whatsoever plus, zero as well as low-energy construction. In order to determine the actual thermal insulation parameters of the building envelope, in situ simulations were carried out under real conditions, taking into account the temperature distribution over the height of the envelope. Measurements were carried out at five heights of the partition with time-varying temperature and humidity parameters during 23.11.2022 - 13.06.2023. The described experiment, was to verify the technical parameters of perlite concrete in terms of thermal insulation, as a construction material used for vertical partitions. The results obtained indicate that a single-layer wall made of perlite concrete blocks meets the requirements of a load-bearing wall and the proper heat transfer coefficient of the partition. The proposed new building material is an alternative to walls with a layer of thermal insulation made of materials such as styrofoam or wool, and will join the idea of sustainable construction, taking action against climate change, reducing building operating costs, improving living and working conditions and fulfilling international commitments to climate goals.
