A 2025 thermal performance study conducted by a European university revealed that gypsum boards modified with aerogel particles or phase-change materials (PCMs) demonstrate significantly improved insulation properties compared to standard boards.

These modifications allow for better regulation of indoor temperatures, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling. In lab tests, PCM-integrated boards reduced indoor temperature swings by up to 4°C, enhancing comfort and lowering energy consumption.

With rising energy costs and stricter carbon regulations, these findings support the use of gypsum not only as a structural material but also as a significant contributor to passive building design strategies. For Batec Group, these scientific advancements offer a compelling narrative for product differentiation, allowing them to highlight the energy efficiency potential of their high-quality gypsum boards and contribute to greener building certifications like LEED and BREEAM.

As green building certifications like LEED and BREEAM emphasize energy performance, such scientific advancements offer compelling narratives for product differentiation and educational outreach.
