geopolymeric mortars containing different percentages of phase change materials\
(PCMs). These materials have a twofold eco-efficient positive impact. On one hand,\
the geopolymeric mortar is based on industrial waste material. And on the other\
hand, the mortars with PCM have the capacity to enhance the thermal performance\
of the buildings. Several geopolymeric mortars with different PCM percentages\
(10\%, 20\%, 30\%) were studied for thermal conductivity and thermal energy storage
The Centre for Territory, Environment and Construction (CTAC) is a research unit of the School of Engineering of University of Minho (UMinho), recognised by the “FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia” (Foundation for Science and Technology), associated to the Department of Civil Engineering (DEC), with whom it shares resources and namely human resources.
Currently CTAC aggregates 25 researchers holding a PhD of which 20 are faculty professors of the Civil Engineering Department. Read more
