Experimental Research on Using Form-stable PCM-Integrated Cementitious Composite for Reducing Overheating in Buildings

This paper investigates the potential of using form-stable phase change material (FS-PCM) integrated cement mortars in building envelopes to prevent overheating and to improve summer thermal comfort. The FS-PCM integrated cement mortar was applied as the interior surface plastering mortar of a full-...
