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 …

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 …

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 …

Phase change materials (PCMs) are used to decrease the indoor temperature swing, keep
the indoor environment comfortable and increase energy efficiency of buildings by …

This paper tested and simulated the thermal performance of a concrete wall outfitted with
Phase change materials (PCMs) under 5 climate conditions in China. The PCMs were …

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 presents a comparison of four different wall structures aiming to study the impact
of using PCM “phase change material” on the thermal performance of lightweight building …

The energy consumption in buildings for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning is
increasing with the increasing demand for thermal comfort. Thermal energy storage with …

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)∗ …

Using phase change materials (PCM) in buildings is considered as an effective way to
reduce heating or cooling loads. In this study, a south-faced wall with PCM layer inside has …
