The construction industry's growth significantly affected the environment. Since global warming occurred, the drastic change in the weather has threatened the lives of living things. As a result, the effort to reduce the impact of global warming and construction work on the environment must be taken. This research introduced an innovative prototype proposed as an insulated lightweight wall panel. This research aims to produce an innovative product using sugarcane fibre as the insulation material. This research was conducted by assembling the prototype to test the prototype's performance. The result obtained by the experiment that was carried out meets the objective of this research. Finally, with the excellent performance shown by the product, this product has the potential to be introduced in the current market.
