Numerical analysis of effect of shape-stabilized phase change material plates in a building combined with night ventilation

Experimental and numerical investigation of a phase change material: Thermal-energy storage and release

“…Sensible heat storage has been used for centuries by builders to store/release passive thermal energy. In general, a much larger volume of material is required to store the same amount of energy in comparison to latent heat storage [4,10,11]. The principle of the use of phase change materials (PCMs) is simple.…”

Fatty acid eutectic/polymethyl methacrylate composite as form-stable phase change material for thermal energy storage

“…Thermal energy storage is a primary and indispensable aspect for building energy conservation. As one of the preferred thermal energy storage methods, latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) by using phase change material to store and release thermal energy is considered to be the most effective and promising [1], and have been relatively extensively applied in building energy conservation for decreasing the indoor temperature fluctuations, recovering the waste heat, air-conditioning and ventilation and storing solar energy for building thermal usage [2][3][4][5][6].…”

Energy efficiency and thermal performance of lightweight steel-framed (LSF) construction: A review

“…Several passive PCM-based TES solutions for buildings have been studied during the last decades, for both opaque and window facades, such as PCM enhanced drywalls [2,[89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104], SSPCM elements [105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120], PCM-based ventilated facades [121][122][123][124][125][126], PCM-shutters and PCM-window blinds systems [127][128][129][130][131], interior sun protections with PCMs [132,133], translucent PCM walls [134]…”
