In Peru, the phenomenon of frosts manifests itself between the months of May and September. This climatic condition primarily affects the inhabitants of the Peruvian highlands such as in the department of Ayacucho. Generally, it is the very same individuals who suffer from diseases such as the cold. This is due to the lack of housing that minimizes the loss of internal energy, as often, these are constructed without providing adequate comfort inside. Addressing this issue, the present thesis proposed the application of totora (cattail) reed mats as interior lining for houses to enhance thermal comfort. Therefore, the manufacturing of adobe bricks was developed according to the stipulations of standard E.080. Subsequently, two prototype houses were constructed with the produced adobe, and one of them was internally lined with totora reed mats. Once all this was done, the temperatures for both houses were taken using specialized equipment. Then, the thermal conductivity of the houses was calculated and their results were compared. Finally, the results revealed a 55.40% reduction in thermal conductivity for the house with the totora reed mat lining, compared to the house without any lining, and thermal resistance in the lined house increased by 71.70%.
