Abstract

Energy consumption is one of the challenging dilemmas the world faces now, with the endless growing economy and uprising technologies. Phase change materials (PMCs) are incorporated in construction material to control temperature fluctuation and reduce energy consumption. However, it was reported that a significant amount of PCMs is destroyed during mixing. This study aims to incorporate micro-encapsulated Phase change materials (MPCMs) in Self-compacting mortar (SCM) to examine its behaviour during mixing, mechanical behaviour after hardening, and thermal properties. Results showed improvement in the viscosity and thermal storage in the SCM.
