Experimental Evaluation of Phase-Change-Material-Integrated Concrete for Passive Thermal Energy Storage in Buildings

This project explores how concrete can be enhanced to help buildings better manage temperature and reduce energy use. The material to be used in this project can absorb heat when temperatures rise and release it when temperatures drop, helping to keep indoor spaces more comfortable without relying as heavily on heating or cooling systems. The visiting PhD student from Japan will work at the University of Windsor to design, test, and evaluate these temperature-regulating concrete materials using laboratory experiments. This project will strengthen collaboration between the University of Windsor and Utsunomiya University, provide advanced research training for the student, and generate new knowledge that supports more energy-efficient and resilient building materials.
