The energy consumption for heating and cooling of buildings increases every year. Improved t material technology can help reducing the energy consumption needed to keep a comfortable indoor temperature. By integrating microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCM), which has a very high energy storage capacity within the phase transition temperature, the energy storage capacity of concrete can be significantly improved. This will facilitate improved passive building technology with reduced the energy consumption. Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is synthesized by alkali activation of aluminosilicate materials in amorphous form (industrial waste). Geopolymer concrete is much more environmentally friendly than Portland cement concrete, which has a negative effect on the environment due to emission of huge amounts of CO2. Therefore, the integration of MPCM to GPC provides a promising environmentally friendly material with a high energy storage capacity. However, knowledge regarding the effect of MPCM on the thermal and mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete is very limited. In this study, high thermal energy storage capacity materials were fabricated by mixing MPCM into geopolymer concrete (GPC). The effect of different type and concentration of MPCM on improving the thermal properties of GPC has been examined. Furthermore, the negative effect on the compressive strength of geopolymer concrete received special attention. Optimizing the effect of MPCM on geopolymer concrete to improve thermal properties and maintain the compressive strength of the geopolymer concrete at an acceptable level for building application is the main target of this study.
