Abstract Phase Change Materials (PCMs) have high thermal inertia, and hemp concrete (HC), a bio-based concrete, has
strong hygroscopic behavior. In previous studies, PCM has been extensively combined with many materials, however, most of these studies focused on thermal properties while neglecting hygroscopic aspects. In this study, the
two materials have been combined into a building envelope and the related hygrothermal properties have been
studied. In particular, numerical studies have been performed to investigate the temperature and relative humidity
behavior inside the HC, and the effect of adding PCM on the hygrothermal behavior of the HC.… More >
