Abstract
As climate change intensifies in recent years, many are paying much attention to efficient energy-saving solutions to reduce the cooling load in buildings. In this work, a passive cooling strategy involving the incorporation of microencapsulated phase change material (MEPCM) and glass bubble (GB) into the paint and coating on mortar panels was investigated in the tropics. Results indicated that the integrated MEPCM-GB mortar panel consisting of 30% PCM and 20 % GB was found to have a maximum surface temperature and ambient temperature reduction of 3.2 °C and 7.0 °C in a laboratory-based and outdoor-based parametric study respectively.
