Since the buildings' heating and cooling needs are always growing during the cold and
warm months, respectively, the buildings' energy consumption has dramatically shot up. So …

Phase change materials (PCMs) have been extensively characterized as promising energy
materials for thermal energy storage and thermal management to address the mismatch …

With the global increase in population and temperature, cooling demand has increased
tremendously in the building sector, especially in the GCC and African and South Asian …

This paper is an updated, but totally new, version of “A review on phase change materials
(PCMs) integrated in building walls”, an article published in 2011 in Renewable and …

The global effects of climate change will increase the frequency and intensity of extreme
events such as heatwaves and power outages, which have consequences for buildings and …

In the context of global warming, Phase change materials (PCMs) arise a growing interest in
the scientific and industrial communities because it fits very well with the policy of reducing …

Phase change materials (PCM) are characterized by storing a large amount of thermal
energy while changing from one phase to another phase (normally solid–liquid states) at a …

Cooling demand in the building sector is growing rapidly; thermal energy storage systems
using phase change materials (PCM) can be a very useful way to improve the building …

Confronted with the crises of the growing resource shortages and continued deterioration of
the environment, building energy performance improvement using phase change materials …

Phase change materials (PCMs) with significant latent heat of phase transition have been
exploited for a wide range of thermal storage applications. This is particularly useful in the …
