Abstract

This research is a studying and developing building constructing material that is reducing the usage of energy in a building and it is made from rubber and rice straw. This research aims to both improve the economic and raise the energy conservation idea. This research will find the proper building material that is heat resistance. From interviewing the expert, the researcher came up with the best formula to produce this heat resistance board. The formula is to add water to the rubber (one part rubber and three parts water) and spay it on a flatted bed of rice straw. Then heat it for one hour in a temperature of one hundred degree Celsius. After that, mix in borax to make this material heat and fire resistance. All theses testing; the heat resisting and water absorbing, this material has past the standard to be used in an indoor building constructing (มยผ. 8101-51) Department of Public works and town planning, Ministry of Interior 2008. From that point on, the researchers designed a pattern on the material to add the look for home and building decorating. Therefore, they are two sizes of the material; 0.60 x 0.60 x 0.10 meter and 0.60 x 1.20 x 0.10 meter.
