The inadequate use of passive thermal conditioning alternatives, such as phase change
materials (PCM), in Chile, despite the climatological advantages in various regions of the …

In this work, the influence of PCM wall utilization on the heating energy consumption of a
typical northeastern Chinese rural house is numerically investigated by EnergyPlus …

In this research, a novel form‐stable composite phase change material (CPCM) based on
Na2SO4· 10H2O‐Na2HPO4· 12H2O binary eutectic hydrated salt (EHS) as phase change …

With the recent dramatic growth of the building sector's energy consumption to provide
thermal comfort to consumers, the constraints of climate change and the scarcity of energy …

The rapid growth of urbanization and the increase of internal comfort requirements impact
negatively the environment and the energy consumption of the building sector. Therefore, it …

Abstract A Phase Change Material (PCM) provides heat and cooling by releasing and
absorbing energy at the phase transition. They are employed in the construction of building …

In this research work, a new smart configuration with two Phase Change Materials is
