CASSANDRO-CAJIAO, Renato. Structural thermal panel wall composed of guadua and cardboard. Experimental model applied to the climate of the Coffee Region. Rev. Arquit. [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.2, pp.90-109. ISSN 1657-0308.  https://doi.org/10.14718/revarq.2018.20.2.2116.

This paper proposes a SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) type composite panel prototype, a structural thermal panel, as a building envelope wall made of renewable natural materials, specifically bamboo and recycled cardboard. The panel consists of two external OSB (Oriented Strand Board) boards, oriented chipboard, and an intermediate cardboard insulation. In the study, two experimental SIP models are developed, using different manufacturing processes, which are analyzed and compared with four commercial references worldwide. All the panels are simulated thermally and acoustically in the climatic and meteorological conditions of the city of Pereira (Risaralda), in order to evaluate and compare the results, demonstrating thus the viability and competitiveness of the proposed prototype. In addition, this study aims to serve as a reference point for future research in the search for better sustainable construction materials.
