The purpose of this paper is to provide a source information on thermal energy use in buildings, its drivers, and their past, present future trends global regional basis. Energy buildings forms large part demand. importance heating cooling total building very diverse with share varying between 18% 73%. Biomass still far the dominant fuel when picture considered; role electricity substantially growing, direct coal disappearing from sector, largely replaced by natural gas most developed...
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) primary energy production was increased by 49% and CO2 emissions 43% over past 20 years. Furthermore, 30 - 40% of total consumption in developed countries comes from private sector (housing offices). Thermal storage (TES) is proposed as one way improve gap between supply. TES systems can store sensible heat, latent heat or chemical reaction. Phase change materials (PCM) are extensively studied for thermal because these have high phase...
In this paper PCM is added to three types of stabilized rammed. Mechanical and thermal characterization carried out. To do so, the compressive strength optimized final compositions obtained are used formulate materials which will be thermally characterized. The optimization process done with a design experiments (DoE) variance analysis (ANOVA). Finally, LCA evaluate environmental impact during manufacturing phase, due addition stabilizers in rammed earth.
Rammed earth is considered a very sustainable construction system due to its low embodied energy, long service life and high recyclability. However, authors found that there lack of experimental results at real scale regarding rammed thermal behaviour. For this reason, paper first focused on the characterization two different types in order check suitability being used walls. After characterization, cubicle-shape buildings were built Barcelona Puigverd de Lleida (Spain) test behaviour their...
Gypsum has two important states (fresh and hardened states), the addition of phase change materials (PCM) can vary properties material. Many authors have extensively studied in state; however, variation fresh state due to Micronal® DS 5001 X PCM into gypsum been object few investigations. Properties define workability, setting time, adherence shrinkage, and, therefore possibility implementing material building walls. The aim study is analyze, compare evaluate variability after inclusion 10%...

The building envelope has high potential to reduce the energy consumption of buildings according International Energy Agency (IEA) because it is involved along all process: design, construction, use, and end-of-life. present study compares thermal behavior seven different prototypes tested under Mediterranean climate: two them were built with sustainable earth-based construction systems other five, conventional brick systems. consist rammed earth walls wooden green roofs, which have been...
