The continuous growth of building energy consumption and carbon emissions has
aggravated the balance between environment and energy, in which building heating and …

Building energy consumption is a vital component of the global energy mandate. A major
part of the building energy is consumed in providing thermal comfort to occupants. Passive …

Phase change materials have been used in buildings as effective latent energy storage
elements because of their remarkable capability of storing thermal energy and thus have …

This paper aims to explore how and where phase change materials (PCMs) are used in
passive latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems, and to present an overview of …

The building sector is the dominant energy consumer with a total 30% share of the overall
energy consumption and accounts for one-third of the greenhouse gas emissions around …

Thermal energy storage with phase change materials (PCMs) offers a high thermal storage
density with a moderate temperature variation, and has attracted growing attention due to its …

The energy consumption in the built environment represents one of the major contributors of
carbon emissions to the atmosphere. This leads to the need for a transition in the building …

In certain Moroccan regions, weather conditions are extreme; the outside ambient
temperature varies between 45° C during the day and 25° C at night in the estival period …

The present paper is the first comprehensive review of the integration of phase change
materials in building walls. Many considerations are discussed in this paper including …

Thermal energy storage systems (TES), using phase change material (PCM) in buildings,
are widely investigated technologies and a fast developing research area. Therefore, there …
