Abstract

This review focuses on cork as a natural renewable and sustainable construction rawmaterial Cork has an unusual combination of properties making it suitable for application in buildings and infrastructures for example insulation wearresistance and durability The material properties combined with a favourable ecological footprint allow designers architects and engineers to meet some of the Green Building demands A summary on cork production structure chemistry and properties was made The processing into corkbased products for example cork agglomerates and composites is detailed as well as their properties and applications in construction The aptitude of corkbased products for compliance with sustainability and energy efficiency criteria is also addressedCentro de Estudos Florestais is a research unit supported by the national funding of FCT—Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia UID/AGR/00239/2013 Funding from FCT is acknowledged by the first author with a postdoctoral Grant SFRH/BPD/76101/2011 and a doctoral Grant for the second author SFRH/BD/77550/2011
