The main objective of this study is to evaluate the energy efficiency and compressive strength of the masonry blocks through the substitution of a percentage of cement by biomass ash. Energy efficiency plays a fundamental role in sustainable construction, since it seeks to reduce the flow of energy in buildings, thus minimizing their environmental impact and optimizing their energy consumption. To achieve this purpose, tests and measurements were carried out using ASTM standards in the evaluation of compressive strength, thermal conductivity and heat flow. The results obtained in the thermal conductivity and compressibility tests revealed significant data: the control test reported a value of 0.121 W/mK, 751 psi, test 2 obtained 0.109 W/mK, 798 psi, test 3 recorded 0.095 W/ mK, 993 psi, test 4 reported 0.096 W/mK, 1968 psi and finally, test 5 obtained 0.101 W/mK. 1682psi respectively. Substituting the percentage of cement for biomass ash in the masonry blocks has proven to be a solution to improve their energy efficiency and compressive strength. A reduction in the thermal conductivity of the blocks is identified, which implies better thermal insulation, less heat loss and greater resistance. The results obtained support the adoption of more sustainable construction practices, with less environmental impact and greater energy savings.
