Abstract
This paper deals with conductive concrete materials and its testing and controlling. Multipurpose remotely-controlled thermostat, called iTHERMST, was designed and built to test and evaluate new samples of the cement-based material with high specific heat and high thermal conductivity. iTHERMST tests and collects various data that can be imported directly to PC software for further evaluations. New possible controlling algorithms were introduced, described and finally tested in practice.
