520			_aA tropical country, the Philippines, faces the growing impacts of global warming, including rising temperatures, frequent floods and typhoons, and shifting weather patterns. As a result, the demand for energy-intensive cooling systems increases. One potential solution is to utilize thermal efficiency strategies, such as using wood with low thermal conductivity. It is known for its natural high heat insulating capacity due to air pockets within its cellular structure. However, the increasing demand for wood leads to deforestation and environmental degradation. In Paete, Laguna, a town renowned for its woodcarving industry, sawdust is a common byproduct that often goes to waste. This study addresses the problem by designing and fabricating a machine that transforms sawdust into thermal insulation panels, offering a sustainable and practical solution to both waste management and energy efficiency. The machine, capable of producing insulation panels with sawdust and wood glue, can help reduce the consumption of raw timber and mitigate global warming. The research assesses the thermal properties of these panels, compares their effectiveness to that of traditional materials, and explores the economic viability of producing and using these panels in both domestic and commercial buildings. This approach not only promotes energy efficiency but also creates potential new economic opportunities for the local community, creating a circular approach to waste and resource management. The project aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon footprints and conserve forests. By reusing sawdust, the study supports environmental conservation and promotes sustainable development, contributing to the broader fight against climate change.
