Environmental characterization of gypsum-PCM plasters
| Resumo: | Improvement in materials and building technologies can contribute to energy efficiency towards more sustainable construction. In this paper it is presented new gypsum based interior plastering system, incorporating phase change materials (PCM). Although for PCM no data is yet available, environmental assessment of gypsum plaster impact from extraction to construction phase is presented. Difference between systems operational energy and related Global Warming Potential was also considered, for a life time horizon of 30 years. Comparison with conventional gypsum plaster is made as reference. Results from experiments carried out in Passy's test cells show the potential for energy savings of these materials. |
