Thermal performance of mortars based on different binders and containing a nove...
Sarcinella, Antonella; Aguiar, J. L. Barroso de; Lettieri, Mariateresa; Cunha, Sandra; Frigione, MariaenricaIncreasing concerns about climate change and global warming bring about technical steps for the development of several energy-efficient technologies. Since the building sector is one of the largest energy users for cooling and heating necessities, the incorporation of a proper energy-efficient material into the building envelopes could be an interesting solution for saving energy. Phase change material (PCM)-ba...
Applications of sustainable polymer-based phase change materials in mortars com...
Frigione, Mariaenrica; Lettieri, Mariateresa; Sarcinella, Antonella; Aguiar, J. L. Barroso deEco-sustainable, low toxic and low flammable poly-ethylene glycol (PEG) was forced into flakes of the porous Lecce stone (LS), collected as stone cutting wastes, employing a very simple cheap method, to produce a “form-stable” phase change material (PCM). The experimental PCM was included in mortars based on different binders (hydraulic lime, gypsum and cement) in two compositions. The main thermal and mechanic...
Mortars containing sustainable PCM’s for the energy efficiency of buildings
Frigione, Mariaenrica; Lettieri, Mariateresa; Sarcinella, Antonella; Aguiar, J. L. Barroso deEnergy use in buildings represents more than one-third of global energy consumption and contributes to nearly one-quarter of greenhouse gases emission worldwide. The thermal comfort demand represents one of the main cause of the increased energy consumption. To guarantee a thermal indoor comfort, contributing at the same time to the energy saving, the Thermal Energy Storage (TES) methodologies have recently gai...
Mortars with phase change materials (PCM) and stone waste to improve energy eff...
Frigione, Mariaenrica; Lettieri, Mariateresa; Sarcinella, Antonella; Aguiar, J. L. Barroso deThe main objective of this contribution is the study of mortars with the incorporation of polymer-based phase change materials (PCM) for the improvement of energy efficiency in buildings. The mortars are intended for an indoor thermal comfort in the typical climatice conditions of the Southern European countries. Production waste, such as stone powder from quarry, will also be incorporated in the mortars. The f...
