Abstract
The work presented in this paper aims at measuring the thermal conductivity of date palm leaves, plentiful and cheap, which would be used in obtaining thermal in sulating products for buildings. The paper illustrates how the leaves are prepared and tested using an experimental and a mathematical technique Test results have revealed that date palm leaves have low thermal conductivities.
