Table1 showed the results of thermal conductivity (k),thermal resistivity (r), and thermal diffusivity (λ), for laterite-mud sample and concrete-block sample. As presented in Table1, laterite-mud exhibited higher thermal conductivity than the concrete-block. This higher value of thermal conductivity indicated that the rate of heat flow was higher in the laterite-mud sample than the concrete-block sample and as such laterite-mud walls have a tendency of conducting heat
more than the concrete-block walls from the atmosphere.
