“…While sensible heat storage is widely used in practical applications, latent heat storage, such as phase-change materials (PCMs), offers substantially higher energy storage density. PCMs exhibit minimal temperature variation during both charging and discharging processes, making them highly efficient for thermal energy storage [24][25][26]. The next sections will provide a qualitative description of common methods and techniques for PCM usage inside TSCs, as well as for the use of nanomaterials to enhance PCM performance.…”

The building sector plays an important role in the global climate change mitigation objectives. The reduction of CO2 emissions and energy consumption in the building sector has been intensively investigated in the last decades, with solar thermal energy considered to be one of the most promising solutions due to its abundance and accessibility. However, the discontinuity of solar energy has led to the study of thermal energy storage to improve the thermal performance of solar thermal systems. In this review paper, the integration of various types of phase-change materials (PCMs) in transpired solar collectors (TSC) is reviewed and discussed, with an emphasis on heat transfer enhancements, including nanomaterials. Thermal energy storage applied to TSC is studied in terms of design criteria, materials technologies, and its impact on thermal conductivity. This review highlights the potential of nanomaterial technology integration in terms of thermal performance improvements. The utilization of nanomaterials in solar walls holds the potential to significantly enhance their performance. The integration of diverse materials such as graphene, graphite, metal oxides, and carbon nanoparticles can pave the way for improving thermal conductivity.

In this research, the optimization of energy consumption of zero-energy buildings using PCMs in the two study cities of Vancouver and Dubai and its energy supply with a multi-generation geothermal system is discussed. PCMs used in the walls and roofs of designed buildings are of two types, namely PCM (solid) and PCM (liquid). By optimizing the energy consumption of the residential complex in two study cities, it is finally possible to choose the best mode in optimal conditions to reduce energy consumption in the residential complex, reduce the costs of the residential complex, and reduce the environmental pollution. The results showed that the amount of electricity consumption, heating, and cooling of the residential complex during the year in the city of Vancouver is 8493.55, 7899.1, and 1083.97 kWh, respectively, and in the city of Dubai, the values are 9572.1, 8.99, and 18,845.44 kW, respectively. Also, by optimizing the energy consumption of residential complexes in Vancouver and Dubai, it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions by 2129.7 and 2773.2 kg/year, respectively. The electricity consumption of the residential complex in Dubai is 11.26% and the carbon dioxide emission is 23.20% more. In the end, a multi-generation system is proposed to meet the energy consumption of a six-unit zero-energy residential complex with 120 m2 and two bedrooms in Vancouver, Canada. By setting up the study system in the city of Vancouver, 237,364.6 kWh of electricity, 425,959.4 kWh of heating, and 304,732.8 kWh of electricity can be produced in one year. According to the investigation, the geothermal system can easily provide the energy consumption required by residential buildings.

Building energy efficiency is now a top priority because of the major negative effects that may happen on the society, the economy, and the environment. In various parts of the world, several researchers have worked on ways of achieving methods that can use phasechange materials as thermal storage. This is because these technologies have the potential to greatly reduce energy consumption when combined with solar power. PCMs store thermal energy in ways quite different than ordinary construction materials. These materials make use of latent heat rather than sensible heat. Therefore, phase-changed materials possess a notable advantage over sensible heat thermal energy storage materials with respect to storing and releasing heat. As a result, this paper was concerned with exploring the possibility of building energy conversion and storage systems using phase change material.
