The so-called \u2018hybrid phase-change material mortars\u2019 can enhance energy saving when compared with single PCM mortars. They increase the range of melting temperatures and enthalpies, thus providing a more staged and progressive energy exchange. The experimental programme comprised two hollow boxes, one internally rendered with hybrid mortar and the other with a reference mortar without PCM. They were then externally subjected to realistic daily winter temperature profiles. The prototypes were internally equipped with a heater programmed to keep the inside of the boxes at a comfortable room temperature. The energy consumption in the box rendered with hybrid mortar was nearly 20% less than that of the box rendered with standard mortar. The potential cost savings of hybrid PCM mortars for residential buildings are also discussed. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1680\/jcoma.17.00027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,24]],"date-time":"2018-01-24T13:16:25Z","timestamp":1516799785000},"page":"117-125","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Energy benefits of cement-based plaster containing hybrid phase-change material"],"prefix":"10.1680","volume":"171","author":[{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Kheradmand","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Civil Engineering Department, University of Aveiro, Portugal; C-TAC, Civil Engineering Department, University of Minho, Portugal; C-MADE, Civil and Architecture Department, University of Beira Interior, Portugal (corresponding author: )"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Azenha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ISISE, Civil Engineering Department, University of Minho, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o Paulo","family":"Castro-Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"C-MADE, Civil and Architecture Department, University of Beira Interior, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jose Luis Barroso de","family":"Aguiar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"C-TAC, Civil Engineering Department, University of Minho, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"volume-title":"Micronal PCM.
