Cover Story: To date the main issues related to energy consumption in buildings has led to energy efficiency improvements; for example, the use of additives such as phase change materials (PCM). The suitability of an acquisition system has been verified in this field by comparing the thermal properties of the materials. Sensors are utilised to collect data from two cubicles made of self-compacting concrete panels, one of which has microcapsules of PCM as an additive. The results confirm the results of previous studies of PCM addition, that the system fulfils requirements. View Paper here System Verification for Energy Efficiency Analysis of Building Materials
