Typha Australis is a plant that grows abundantly in fresh water. The proliferation of this plant causes health problems, so several measures have been taken to eradicate this problem such as: cutting the plant, coal production. So this article is about the valorisation of this plant as a bio-based material in order to solve the energy problem in the building. In this study, clay was used as a binder with a given percentage. The mixture of clay and Typha was used as an insulation panel and a comparison was made with a conventional habitat without an insulation panel. A dynamic thermal simulation was performed on TRNSYS to evaluate the influence of the use of this insulation panel on the energy consumption in the building. The results of the comparison showed that the use of this insulation panel, which is a mixture of clay and Typha Australis, reduced the energy requirement by 23%, which is a satisfactory result.
