There is growing interest in the use of phase change materials (PCMs) in the building industry, particularly in cementitious materials.

    In the present study, a modified mortar matrix with different amounts of PCM (5wt %, 10wt%, 15wt %) have been prepared. The different PCM-mortar matrixes have been mechanically characterized. It was found that PCM drastically decreases the mechanical performance of mortar.

    The 10% PCM-mortar matrix has been reinforced with 2 layers of AR glass Fabric and has been used as a skin of textile reinforced concrete (TRC) foamed sandwich panel.

    The performance of the 10% PCM modified TRC sandwich panel has been compared with a reference TRC sandwich panel (without PCM).It has been found that the mechanical performance of the PCM modified sandwich panel decreases comparing to the reference, however TRC ductile behaviour is conserved during bending which is very encouraging in view of developing a new sustainable TRC sandwich panels with high mechanical and thermal efficiency
