Thermal Performance of Rubberized Gypsum Composites for Sustainable Walls in Arid Climates: Experimental and Simulation Study

Abstract

Abstract This study evaluates the potential of rubberized gypsum composites as sustainable wall materials for improving energy efficiency in buildings located in arid climates, using M’sila, Algeria, as a representative case. The novelty of the work lies ... Practical Applications This study introduces gypsum composites modified with recycled rubber waste (RW) as an eco-friendly wall material for buildings in arid regions. By partially replacing natural sand with RW, the composite improves thermal insulation ...
