This review discusses macro-encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) as a major
contributing factor in the development of future sustainable and energy-efficient heating and …

The construction industry is responsible for a significant amount of global energy
consumption and CO 2 emissions. To address this issue, phase change material (PCM) is …

Improving the thermal characteristics of building enclosures is a must in the context of rising
global energy consumption. Heat losses through roof enclosures are one of the main causes …

The high temperature of PV panels during power generation not only reduces their efficiency
but also leads to increased heat transfer to the room. The impact of using PV panels on the …

Integrating phase change materials (PCMs) into building elements considerably reduces
energy demand and improves indoor thermal comfort. However, PCM's low thermal …

Abstract Incorporating Phase Change Materials (PCM) into building enclosures is one of the
passive techniques to improve thermal comfort and reduce energy costs. The present study …

Incorporating phase change materials (PCMs) into the roof is considered an effective
measure to reduce the amount of heat gain from the roof in hot climates. However, there are …

As a technical approach, using Phase Change Materials (PCM) can be an effective method
to prevent energy losses through building enclosures. In the present paper, different roof …

The building envelope serves as a barrier against climatic conditions and as insulation to
prevent energy waste within buildings. As global energy shortages become more pressing …

This paper aims to simulate the time-development of the temperature of phase change
materials (PCMs) using an effective heat capacity model. We employ recently published and …
