It is widely recognised that green building, environmental sustainability, and technical performance have recently become requirements in the field of civil engineering. For this reason, the new trend in research is to focus on the recycling and recovery of materials, even if some of them such as industrial waste are still underexplored. In this perspective, the main objective of this work is to study the influence of brick powder on the thermophysical and mechanical properties of mortars containing this type of waste, in different environments, and within the temperature range between ambient temperature and 50 °C. To this end, a number of mortar mixtures, in which cement was replaced by brick powder in different proportions, were studied and characterised according to technical standards in order to define the optimal substitution percentage. Three batches of samples were examined at different ages, i.e., 3, 7, 28, and 90 days. The samples of the first batch were kept in water at a temperature of 20 ± 2 °C with a relative humidity RH = 100 %, while those of the second batch were immersed and stored in water at 50 °C in order to simulate a hot and humid climate. As for the samples of the third batch, they were kept in a dry oven at 50 °C in order to investigate the effect of the hot and dry climate. The results obtained revealed that the partial replacement of cement by brick powder makes it possible to improve the thermal insulation characteristics but reduce the mechanical strength of the mortar. In addition, it was shown that in a hot and dry environment, the mechanical characteristics of the different mortars decrease as the rate of weight substitution of cement by brick powder rises. However, in a hot and humid environment, a reverse trend is observed. The findings also suggested that the optimal recommended rate of substitution of cement by brick powder is 20 %.
