The aim of the research is to create the ecological heat insulation material out of coniferous tree greenery (needles and thin branches). Following the three factor experiment plan, samples were made and tested in laboratory for their thermal conductivity and density. The findings show that the elaborated needle heat insulation material is equal to firewood insulation material and it is worth to continue this research for further product development and manufacturing.
