Phase change materials (PCM) can improve the thermal performance of lightweight building
walls (LBW), but the effect is not only dependent on the PCM parameters but also high on …

Abstract Integrating Phase-Change Material (PCM) in building walls has been an effective
technological method to improve wall thermal performance, but its contribution efficiency has …

The use of phase change materials (PCMs) in building envelopes is a promising energy
efficiency technology. Nevertheless, it is difficult to design a PCM wall for annual thermal …

This paper aims to evaluate the year-round applicability of a kind of composite-PCMs wall
(PCM-wall). The test was carried out in a full-scale room with a net dimension of 3.25 m (L)∗ …

Phase Change Materials (PCMs) have been receiving increased attention, due to their
capacity to store large amounts of thermal energy in narrow temperature ranges. This …

Passively integrating phase change material into the walls to enhance the thermal
performance of the building has been a promising solution in recent years. As the PCM has …

The incorporation of phase change materials (PCMs) into building walls is a novel strategy
for reducing heating and cooling energy consumption. The location of the PCM layer has an …
