Thermal analysis of geopolymer concrete walls containing microencapsulated phase change materials for building applications
Solar Energy(2019)
Abstract
•MPCM addition improves energy efficiency.•The energy efficiency is higher with increasing heat storage capacity of the MPCM.•The effect of outdoor temperature on the energy efficiency of MPCM-concrete is examined.•The combination of solar radiation and temperature on energy efficiency is explored.•Wall orientation and seasons significantly affect the energy efficiency.
