description The growing global energy demand, particularly in India, calls for innovative strategies to improve building energy efficiency. With buildings contributing significantly to energy consumption, especially in cooling-dominated climates, sustainable insulation materials are essential in minimizing energy usage. This study explores the potential of bamboo biochar, fly ash, and lime as sustainable insulation materials for building envelopes. This study also addresses the critical issue of energy efficiency in building construction, specifically focusing on the comparative analysis of three materials for their thermal performance, environmental impact, and economic viability. This research aims to identify the most sustainable material choice by assessing each material’s life cycle energy consumption, thermal resistance, and associated costs. The research methodology involves an extensive review of 125 relevant studies to assess the thermal performance of these materials. U-values were computed from the reported thermal conductivity data and systematically arranged in chronological order to evaluate and compare their insulation effectiveness over time. Additionally, these materials were analyzed under sustainability criteria, incorporating life cycle analysis and a carbon footprint assessment. This study identifies existing research gaps and offers recommendations for future research, creating structure for the development of sustainable insulation system.
