Development of a thermally activated ceiling panel with PCM for application in lightweight and retrofitted buildings

Review on thermal energy storage with phase change materials (PCMs) in building applications

“…Fig. 10 Outline of the ceiling board system [76] Koschenz and Lehmann [79] put forward a new concept of thermally actived ceiling panel for refurbished buildings. In this system, the mixture of microencapsulated PCM and gypsum was poured into a sheet steel tray which was used as a support for maintaining the mechanical stability of the panels.…”

A study on the effect of ground surface boundary conditions in modelling shallow ground heat exchangers

“…The greatest energy savings were with no night ventilation (34%) and full ventilation resulted in a 20% increase due to overcooling the space. Active cooled-ceiling solutions, using PCM, have been researched in literature (Koschenz and Lehmann, 2004, Yahay and Ahmad, 2011, Osterman et al, 2012). …”

Building Integrated Solar Thermal (BIST) Technologies and Their Applications: A Review of Structural Design and Architectural Integration

“…These potentials allow the increase of system energy efficiency, and the reduction of pipe size and collector area, moreover save pumping power consumption due to less quantity of heat transfer fluids [19]. But till now, more applications of PCM [20][21][22][23][24][25] have been found in the BIST system for the function of thermal storage with the characteristics of a great thermal energy storage capacity, a high heat transfer property and a positive phase change temperatures. Although the heat transfer of PCM is quite complicated, it has broad prospects for the practical application in the future.…”
