In this review, buildings are identified as the largest consumers of energy in all countries.in order to develop an energy-efficient building, insulation materials are essential. The right use of insulating material in buildings not only reduces the size of the air conditioning system requiredbut also lowers annual cost of energy. Furthermore, it helps to increase thermal comfort without the use of mechanical air conditioning, especially in summertime. Amount of energy savings achieved through thermal insulation depends on various parameter such as building type, local climate, and type of insulating material used.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS), Bamboo material are used as thermal insulation material on the roof. The main objective of this paper is to reduce the indoor air temperature by providing the thermal insulation in the building.
