This solution, experimentally tested and patented by UPM, takes advantage of the benefits and accesibility of gypsum as a base. Spain is an European and global leader in manufacturing and exportation of this material. The business oportunity is focused on the energy efficiency scope applied to construction: it is estimated that every invested dollar implies $2 in energy savings.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Description of the technological base<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The proposed solution enables the creation of a gypsum board with termal energy storage capacity. Thanks to the addition of phase change materials, this new constructive element can storage, in 1,5cm of thickness, 5 times the thermal energy that can be stored in a regular board with the same thickness.<\/p>\n<p>The PCMs are materials which store or release termal energy as latent heat, achiving the same effect as a thick and heavy wall with a great thermal inertia. The integration of PCMs made of gypsum oriented to construction is not new, but this solution has 45% of these materials compared to the 26% for currently commercial products.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">&nbsp;<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\" src=\"http:\/\/www.upm.es\/observatorio\/vi\/gestor_general\/recuperar_archivo.jsp?id=1211\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"357\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: small\">&ldquo;This patented solution is able to maintain the premises temperature in the confort range (20&ordm;C-30&ordm;C) without air conditioning&rdquo;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Market demands<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>According to current projections, 70% of the world population will live in cities by 2050.<\/li>\n<li>According to forecast, up to 2020, global energy demand will grow 2.2% annually, most of it in the developed world.<\/li>\n<li>Investment in building energy efficiency would release this scarce resource for other purposes.<\/li>\n<li>The need for energy savings in buildings.
