The aim of the study is to clarify thermal conductivity coefficient of freely patterned pine and spruce needles. Heat flow measurements were made according to the two-factor experimental design and analysis of the full experimental design was made. The moisture and coniferous tree species effect on thermal conductivity coefficient were determined. The results show that different coniferous tree species needles are different coefficient of thermal conductivity, which is also influenced by other factors.
