Modeling the Evolution of Construction Solutions in Residential Buildings’ Ther...
Reis, Inês F. G.; Figueiredo, António; Samagaio, AntónioThe evolution of the construction sector over the years has been marked by the replacement of high thermal inertia mass constructions by increasingly lighter solutions that are subject to greater thermal fluctuations and, consequently, thermal discomfort. To minimize these effects, energy demanding space conditioning technologies are implemented, contributing significantly to the sector’s share of global energy...
Thermal enhancement of plastering mortars with phase change materials : experim...
Sá, Ana Vaz; Azenha, Miguel; Sousa, Hipólito de; Samagaio, AntónioBuilding materials with incorporated Phase Change Materials (PCM) are meant to increase heat storage capacity, enable stabilization of interior surface temperatures of buildings whereby influencing the thermal comfort sensation and the stabilization of the interior ambient temperatures. This paper presents the development and characterization of a new composite construction material that consists in embedding m...
