Supercooling is a natural phenomenon that keeps a phase change material (PCM) in its
liquid state at a temperature lower than its solidification temperature. In the field of thermal …

The negative impacts of cement-based material (CBM) production are way bigger than ever
expected. To illustrate the scale of this phenomenon, all the forests in the world, regardless …

The thermal conductivity (k-value) of cement-based materials like concrete is an important
factor when considering the amount of heat transfer through conduction. The amount of heat …

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 …

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

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 …

To reduce CO 2 emissions by 55% by 2030, applying sustainable and energy-efficient
materials like geopolymer concrete containing Phase change materials (PCMs) for …

Energy consumption trends in residential and commercial buildings show a significant
increase in recent decades. One of the key points for reducing energy consumption in …

The increasing concerns about climate change and environmental emissions have led to
conservation of energy in buildings through the development of several energy-efficient …
