Experimental Study on the Thermal Performance of 3D-Printed Enclosing Structures

Three-dimensional printing, or additive manufacturing, is one of the modern techniques emerging in construction industry. Three-Dimensional Printed Concrete (3DPC) technology currently evolving with high demand amongst researchers, and integration modular building systems this would provide a sustainable solution to challenges. This work investigates develops energy-efficient 3D-printable walls that can be implemented worldwide through energy efficiency sustainability criteria. Numerical research experimental investigations, bench tests software packages, high-precision equipment have been used investigate thermal performance 3DPC envelopes different types configurations, arrangements materials, insulation. The findings showed an innovative ventilated envelope low conductivity coefficient was developed following climatic zone. annual costs heat consumed for heating carbon footprint were determined package Revit Insight assess 3D-printed building. properties main wall body tested calculated on-site monitoring data. infrared thermography technique detected heterogeneous non-uniform temperature distributions on exterior surface envelopes.
