PCM concrete - improved indoor climate and lower energy consumption
Phase change materials (PCM) and surface struc- turing combined enable storing and release of heat in the concrete. This will remarkably reduce energy consumption in concrete buildings in the future.
Project description
The project develops intelligent concrete by mixing in microcapsules with phase-changing materials, a method that may reduce energy consumption for cooling and heating by 25-30%. The most suitable system solutions will be tested in full scale in, for instance, the test house, EnergyFlexHouse, at the Danish Technological Institute. (Energy 10)
