Phase Change Materials (PCMs) present cutting-edge technology with substantial promise for advancing sustainable and energy-efficient cooling in buildings. These materials can absorb release latent heat during phase transitions, facilitating thermal energy storage temperature regulation. This comprehensive literature review explores various strategies methods implementing passive PCMs The integration of enhances multiple approaches, including solar control, ground cooling, ventilation-based dissipation, radiative mass-based modulation. analysis delves into PCM classifications, encapsulation techniques, melting enthalpies, diverse building envelopes, performance across different climates. findings from this indicated that walls introduce a 2-hour delay transfer mitigate external fluctuations. Windows equipped panels reduce by 66 %. Combining nocturnal leads to interior surface reductions exceeding 13 °C. Natural ventilation results notable savings up 90 % hot combination free reduces charging times 35 while enhancing transfer. Simulations performed the open suggested strategic placement lightweight flux overall consumption. Despite facing challenges related scalability, compatibility, reliability, recycling, solutions demonstrate robust potential. When integrated thoughtfully design, significantly improve efficiency. Experimental validations confirm ranging 14 %, underscoring adaptability techniques leveraging capabilities

Dynamic simulation is a powerful tool for accurately evaluating the thermal demands of buildings and assessing impact energy refurbishment actions on their final consumption. Conversely, semi-stationary models are widely adopted in commercial applications its simplified approach, which reduce calculation times, resulting standardized results showing certain deviation with respect to real This paper presents economic comparison between dynamic approaches primary demand residential buildings. The method, used by legislation calculate label, based an performance parameter, not representative demand. approach provides more reliable estimation main novelty this numerically prove that savings calculated means software current may be overestimated.

Towards Passive Building Thermal Regulation: A State-of-the-Art Review on Recent Progress of PCM-Integrated Building Envelopes

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(15), С. 6482 - 6482

Опубликована: Июль 29, 2024

The building envelope serves as a barrier against climatic conditions and insulation to prevent energy waste within buildings. As global shortages become more pressing, the requirements for envelopes are becoming increasingly stringent. Among available technologies, phase change materials (PCMs) stand out their high latent thermal storage temperature stabilization capabilities. This paper reviews recent advancements in PCM technology envelopes, starting with an overview of organic, inorganic, eutectic PCMs, along respective advantages disadvantages. explores various incorporation methods such shape stabilization, macroencapsulation, micro/nanoencapsulation, solid–solid transition techniques. integration PCMs enhances inertia, reduces fluctuations, delays heat peaks, presenting several multifunctional benefits. However, challenges fire hazards, potential toxicity, pollution, reduced mechanical performance, higher initial costs persist. In light these challenges, criteria applications introduced. Additionally, hybrid technologies that combine other novel including radiant regulation systems, thermochromic windows, passive radiative cooling coatings, others. It is shown PCM-integrated significantly improve savings indoor comfort. offer substantial modern green strategies have further contexts. Finally, provides future prospects studies this field, aiming towards energy-saving future.
