Experimental research is critical for the testing and development of new products as well as
for the validation and verification of simulation models. In this paper, a novel way for testing …

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 …

The thermal performance of building walls integrated with phase change materials (PCM)
was evaluated in terms of heat flux reduction and heat transfer time delay. To fully melt and …

In the objective to enhance the thermal inertia of the light envelopes based on the
lightweight materials such as the wood, the integration of the phase change materials in …

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 …

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 …

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)∗ …

In order to really assess the potential of Phase Change Material (PCM) wallboards, a
renovated office building has been monitored during approximatively one year. A room was …

ABSTRACT The insertion of Phase Change Materials (PCM) inside light dry assembled
building envelopes seems to be the right way to solve overheating problems usually caused …

PCMs (Phase change materials) are used to enhance the thermal storage capacity of
building walls, decrease indoor air temperature fluctuations, and shift peak heat transfer …
