Project Description

The project focuses on developing a lightweight geopolymer board enhanced with Phase Change Materials (PCMs) to improve energy efficiency in buildings. It addresses the significant energy consumption and carbon emissions from the construction sector, which accounts for 40% of global energy use and over 35% of CO₂ emissions.

Current heating and cooling practices are often inefficient and harmful to health, highlighting the need for passive solutions to maintain indoor thermal comfort. The innovative PCM-enhanced boards will use recycled inorganic waste to achieve superior insulation properties while being non-flammable and environmentally friendly. This technology will reduce reliance on traditional energy-intensive materials, helping to lower emissions and costs.
