Nowadays, Malaysia's construction industry has risen to become one of the country's fastest-growing industries. The application of green building is becoming more popular towards increasing the use of sustainable products in the construction industry. Nevertheless, due to rapid construction and low sustainable products for buildings, problems related to thermal comfort could indeed arise which may cause people stress and irritation. As a result, the objectives of this paper are to identify the issues, problems, concepts, and needs of Porous Ceramic Roof Insulation. In order to do so, extensive literature reviews conducted via various databases (i.e., Scopus, Web of Science, and Scopus) were explored. The findings have revealed that Porous Ceramic Roof Insulation has the potential to be marketed due to its great benefits (i.e., roof cooling, water absorption, solar absorption, and heat absorption within the building). Thus, it is anticipated that the study of Porous Ceramic Roof Insulation would improve the building's well-being while increasing thermal comfort.
