The technique of making these bricks spread throughout the world, being found in many civilizations that never had any link. Among its characteristics is: that of having a great thermal inactivity, this is due to its density to build, so it is very useful as a regulator of the interior temperature of the house, during the winter it preserves the heat and during the summer it preserves the freshness. As adobe is a material that is capable of absorbing atmospheric humidity, it tends to lose its resistance, to which care must be taken if it is exposed to long periods of rain, as some walls could collapse.
Another characteristic is that the raw material for its production can generally be obtained in the place where it is going to be built, thus saving transportation. It can be concluded then that adobe is a material that, thanks to its thermal characteristics, is ideal for regulating the temperature of the internal spaces of homes located in cold climates or summers, however it is not recommended in very rainy environments.
