Humans are highly intelligent species with the ability to harness raw materials from nature to achieve remarkable feats. One such achievement of our ingenuity is the creation of massive structures that can provide us with shelter, which is a fundamental requirement for all humans, along with food and water. With the advancement in technology, various methods and devices have been used to control the temperature in indoor spaces in order to attain maximum thermal comfort. One of the most commonly used devices are air conditioners. As effective as air conditioners are at controlling the temperature indoors, they are high power consuming devices and also have a detrimental impact on the environment. Air conditioners release harmful gasses such as CFCs, HFCs and HFOs into the air. Hence, there is an urgent need to employ an alternative methods for temperature control in houses, office spaces and other commercial buildings in order to reduce our dependency on air conditioners. In this review various studies pertaining to the use of insulating materials in the wall construction of a building is discussed in detail. As they exhibit better ways to bring in thermal comfort without the use of air conditioners this is one of key research area which need to be highlighted for further studies.
