There is an increasing global recognition of the need for environmental sustainability in mitigating adverse impacts cement production. Despite implementation various carbon dioxide (CO2) mitigation strategies industry, such as waste heat recovery, use alternative raw materials and fuels, energy efficiency improvements, capture storage, overall emissions have still increased due to higher production levels. The resolution this matter can be efficiently achieved by substitution traditional...
The purpose of a phase change material (PCM) is to store/release energy during its transition from solid liquid state, being able count on range melting/crystallization temperatures comparable environmental temperatures. inclusion PCM in mortars, or other construction elements, guarantees reduction consumption for heating and cooling buildings, provided that the corresponds variation This implies with suitable must be identified each climate zone. Two Poly-Ethylene Glycol (PEG)-based...
In a society with high growth rate and increased standards of comfort arises the need to minimise currently high-energy consumption by taking advantage renewable energy sources. The mortars incorporation phase-change materials (PCM) have ability regulate temperature inside buildings, contributing thermal reduction in use heating cooling equipment, using only supplied sun. However, modifies its characteristics. main purpose this study was production characterisation fresh hardened state...
Increasing building energy efficiency is one the most cost-effective ways to reduce emissions. The use of thermal insulation materials mitigates heat loss in buildings, therefore minimising needs. In recent years, several papers were published on subject foam alkali-activated cements with enhanced conductivity. However, those cost analysis was strangely avoided. This paper presents experimental results one-part cements. It also includes global warming potential assessment and analysis. Foam...
