One of the proposed solutions is utilization of phase-change materials for latent heat storage. This field of research is intensively studied and many applications of PCMs were already introduced. However, the research focuses on energy and cost efficiency of the PCMs and their environmental impacts...
It is becoming increasingly clear that buildings are major contributors to the emission of greenhouse gases around the world. Therefore, significant efforts are being made to improve the thermal management of buildings. In particular, phase-change materials as an effective heat storage mechanism in bui...
Integration of phase-change materials (PCMs) in building envelopes is a way to enhance heat storage capacity of buildings and thereby to rationalize the use of energy for heating and cooling of buildings. This work presents a numerical model of a building envelope with PCMs, verifications of the...

There is more and more fuss about Phase Change Materials, better known as PCMs. Experts say they are close to maturity as solutions for thermal energy storage (keeping energy as heat or cold over a period of time.), both in the industry and in buildings! But what do we actually mean ...

The incorporation of phase change materials into building elements is a growing trend for improving the thermal energy storage capacity in the latent form and the thermal inertia. Thermal Energy Storage systems (TES), using phase change materials (PCM) in buildings, are widely investigated technologie...
This paper reviews TES in buildings using sensible, latent heat and thermochemical energy storage. Sustainable heating and cooling with TES in buildings can be achieved through passive systems in building envelopes, Phase Change Materials (PCM) in active systems, sorption systems, and seasonal storage...
