Coconut fiber is a very common residue in Brazil and already finds uses in different areas. This work evaluated the efficiency of this residue in the thermal insulation for later use in panels of low cost. The green fiber coconut residue was used in the production of samples for thermal and chemical analysis. By using a calorimeter, the measurements of temperatures were made and the coefficients of thermal conductivity were determined. The results showed the good performance of the material regarding its thermal absorption when compared to the data of a traditional material sold in the market.  Keywords: Coconut fiber, Thermal comfort, Thermal insulation.
