In 2010, Ghana Government Cabinet passed a bill on indigenous raw materials for public buildings. In this bill, it was stated that by 2015, at least 60% of the content used in public buildings and constructions should be made up of indigenous raw materials. Examples of these indigenous raw materials include sand, clay, laterite, wood, bamboo, stones, pozzolana and Portland cement. The dominant property of these indigenous raw materials which influences electricity utilization in building is their thermo-physical property which contributes significantly to air conditioning requirements in buildings. Representative data of thermo-physical properties of building envelope fabrics do exist in literature, however, following a critical literature review, a knowledge gap was identified in a lack of actual practical data of thermo-physical properties of building envelope fabrics in the building sector in Ghana. This identified knowledge gap coupled to the Ghana Cabinet bill of the unknown properties of indigenous raw materials has led to an over or under estimation of cooling loads when sizing HVAC systems resulting in subsequently high electricity utilization. The aim of this research is to determine the thermo-physical properties of typical building fabrics used in Ghana. The tools used in the data acquisition included Bristol Online Survey Tool and TCi Thermal Conductivity Analyzer. In conclusion, there is a lack of knowledge on the impact of thermo-physical properties of building fabric on building electricity consumption, although it is stated in the building regulation. Again, the typical thermal conductivity of local building fabric obtained from testing these materials and the indicated responses by surveying participants were highly correlated. Finally, the thermal conductivities of the selected building fabric from Ghana were in the range of expected standard values outlined in CIBSE Guide A. It is recommended that government should resource all building professional institutions to embark on intensive public awareness and education of indigenous building fabric as well as thermo-physical properties impact on energy utilization.
