In the study, actual solar radiation measurements were used to determine the solar heat gains that affect the daily heating and cooling requirements. The study investigated the advantages of the PureTerm 23 PCM in indoor temperature control using data from the 2021-2022 solar radiation records. The results show that the PCM is inefficient in meeting the heating demands in January and February. In March, it was found that the PCM can save energy by meeting 16% of the daily heating demand. In April, a 57% reduction in heating demand is achieved with PCM and in May it can provide full heating and cooling with solar gains. With the use of PCM, the cooling requirement can be reduced by 69%, 56% and 59% in June, July and August, respectively. In September, it is calculated that heating and cooling needs can be eliminated by storing solar energy gains. In October and November, the heating demand can be reduced by 49% and 3% respectively, while in December there is not enough solar gain for PCM storage. PureTerm 23 PCM shows significant potential for seasonal energy storage supporting sustainable energy management for indoor temperature control.

“…PCM can be mixed with construction materials in hot climates and act as a heat barrier against the heat coming from outdoor towards indoor to decrease the high cooling load concerns [27,28]. In contrast, they also can work as a heat supplier under cold climates, which decrease the heating loads [29,30]. Among many PCM types, paraffin has mostly adapted for many sectors, particularly in the building sector.…”

In recent years, phase change materials (PCMs) have increasingly received attention in different thermal energy storage and management fields. In the building sector, paraffin as a phase change material (PPCM) has been introduced as an efficient PCM incorporated in a building envelope, which showed remarkable results. However, the poor thermal conductivity of PPCM is still the topmost drawback in experimental and numerical investigations. In this paper, a general assessment of paraffins, their common uses and applications, have been presented with a particular focus on their potential in building envelope applications. Moreover, the general and desired properties of PPCM are highlighted and evaluated. The primary practical limitation of PPCM of poor thermal conductivity and their effect on PPCM performance is presented and discussed. Correspondingly, the popular techniques applied to improve the poor thermal conductivity are presented and discussed in four categories: the dispersion of nanoparticles, expanded graphite, metallic foam, and extended surfaces technique (fins). All in all, the analysed research works indicated that PPCM based building envelope applications could remarkably improve the thermal performance of buildings in terms of thermal load reduction, energy-saving and thermal comfort. Furthermore, the adoption of enhancement techniques is essential to improve the thermal performance of PPCM in building applications for better utilisation. This review provides a clear vision for the newcomers and interested parties about the main application aspects of PPCM in the building sector for further investigations towards technology commercialisation.

“…Phase change materials can preserve and discharge a significant quantity of heat as a latent heat for the duration of conversion of phase via about 5-14 times upper than the sensible heat storage materials per unit volume. The researchers have been presented as progressive thermal storage materials in several building implementations to enhance the thermal load on a yearly basis [4]. One of the most considerable and important storage systems, are the Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems.…”

The storing of energy is the imprisonment of energy at one time to use the similar for another time. This review paper treats with the approaches of thermal energy storage and its implementations in the neighborhood of solar water heating schemes in addition to scheme of solar air heating and the materials utilized to preserve that thermal energy efficiently. This paper delivers the theoretical information of appropriate and unwanted features of various phase change materials PCMs. The paper includes several approaches of thermal energy storage as, latent heat storage, sensible heat storage and thermo-chemical energy storage, concentrating mostly on (PCMs) as an arrangement of appropriate solution for usage of energy to fill the hole amid deliver and request to develop the effectiveness of energy of a scheme. Theoretical details have been shown in the paper. The numerical results show the temperature contour increases when the time of charging process increases, and the temperature contour decreases when the time of discharging process increases.
