In both Peru and other parts of the world, adobe bricks are one of the most used construction materials applied in rural areas due to its low cost and great accessibility. Houses in these environments are, unfortunately, carried out with empirical and erroneous construction procedures; causing, among many factors, that its thermal behaviour is not ideal at the low temperatures that these rural areas present in seasons of excessive cold. However, there is a mineral known as diatomite, whose abundance in numerous deposits in the vicinity of the Andes mountain range is quite notorious, this mineral has great thermal properties, making it a great thermal insulator capable of filling the gap of common adobe blocks originating in the area. Therefore, this research seeks to evaluate the thermal behaviour of an adobe brick added with powdered diatomite compared to a traditional adobe brick, in order to improve the thermal insulation of homes by reducing the coefficient of thermal conductivity and improving its internal temperatures. Therefore, firstly, both the ideal study location and the main properties of the materials extracted from said area were determined. Subsequently, the percentage reduction in thermal conductivity for different percentages of diatomite was theoretically estimated with the analysis of other investigations. Then, with the reduction percentages obtained, the thermal conductivity coefficients and other parameters were calculated for the different adobe samples with different percentages of diatomite (0%, 10% and 20% diatomite). Finally, the calculated data was entered into the ECOTECT software together with a climatological data from the study area to carry out the thermal analysis and compare them with the results obtained from the empirical adobe bricks and verify if the diatomite improved the thermal behaviour of the adobe. In this way, it was obtained that in the most adverse condition (coldest day of the year) the sample with 20% diatomite had a temperature improvement of 23.18% compared to empirical adobe.
