energy is increased by 2.4 to 3.2% per year from 2015 to 2040 [1]. Energy savings in the residential or commercial sector using different materials for thermal energyefficient buildings has given a new scope for research. A general idea amidst the energy-efficient building design strategies is to increase the thermal mass of the building materials which can store the thermal energy during day time and release the energy at night. This can ultimately save energy consumption in building sectors and reduce
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
