The values provided are for a set wall thickness; double or half thicknesses would not necessarily double or halve the thermic property of the material. The usefulness of this algorithm is limited, as the presence of windows, doors or the type of roofing would affect temperature to a much larger degree than the walls themselves. It is included here to show the quality of mudbricks as a building material, and may be useful in comparison with the thermic properties of other building materials.

Notes:

This algorithm is relatively problematic; it relates to the preparation of the plaster for use in a structure, and as such involves not only the collection of the raw material, but also the burning of that raw material as well as the collection of the material needed for the fire. Abrams states: "The manufacture of plaster involved several interrelated activities: cutting, transporting, and stacking trees as well as excavating, preparing, and transporting stone" (Abrams 1994 49). It assumes the open-air method of lime burning; Abrams says that closed kilns would be more efficient. Abrams states that the "figure is clearly incorrect for the Late Classic Copan since data indicate that the calcining of limestone for plaster was likely conducted within tenclosed kilns" (Abrams 1994 49-50).

Notes:

The values in this algorithm are a bit unclear - first, the number of hours in a work day is not stated, and then the width of the wall is also not known. The wall being built is free standing, and thus tapers towards the top, which would not be the case in the construction of a building.
