Incorporating phase change materials (PCM) in plasters is an effective solution both formore efficient use of energy and its consumption reduction, because it allows the use of free energyin the environment, by latent heat storage. As PCM has not binder properties, it is expected todecrease mechanical properties of the final mortar. Also the density of the mortar decreases due toPCM lighter specific weight. In order to be used as a final coat for wall plastering, it must verify therequirements of the respective European Standard. This paper presents the results of thecomposition development and mechanical properties (flexural, compressive and adhesive strengths)testing and validation of three different gypsum mortars, in order to select the appropriate one forthermal testing in test cells. The results show that the effective decrease in the studiedcharacteristics of the mortar does not inhibit the use for plastering, as requirements are achieved bythe three studied compositions
