*3.6. Thermal Properties*

Table 7 shows the results obtained for thermal capacity, specific heat, and thermal conductivity of WCSP and GB using the test method described in Section 2.2. It is worth noting that WCSP has a thermal conductivity almost three times lower than that of GB. This low thermal conductivity results from the high porosity of the WCSP compared to GB. The thermal capacity and specific heat of WCSP is 1.4 times higher than that of GB. This indicates that WCSP's ability to store thermal energy is higher than for GB. This is an important characteristic for building applications, namely those where fire-resistance rated components are required.
