Since the buildings' heating and cooling needs are always growing during the cold and
warm months, respectively, the buildings' energy consumption has dramatically shot up. So …

Phase change materials (PCMs) have received substantial interest for their ability to store
and release latent heat for energy conservation and thermal control purposes. PCMs are …

Building envelope is a key element in providing adequate energy and thermal comfort
performance to buildings. In this regard, improvement solutions are implemented in recent …

One of the major sources of end-use of energy in buildings is consumed in space cooling for
improving indoor thermal comfort. Climate extremities like heat waves and extreme …

The continuous growth of building energy consumption and carbon emissions has
aggravated the balance between environment and energy, in which building heating and …

One of the new strategies lately used in energy efficient building (EEB) is the integration of
phase change materials (PCM) into the building structure. This study examines the long …

Maintaining building indoor temperature within comfort zone has been identified as one of
the major reasons for energy consumption. The incorporation of phase change materials …

An optimization study was conducted for an external office wall containing a phase change
material (PCM) layer under intermittent cooling operation. The design parameters such as …

Transition towards a carbon-neutral district energy community calls for carbon elimination
and offsetting strategies, and phase change materials (PCMs) with substantial potential …

Using two layers of phase change material (PCM) instead of one to improve the thermal
energy storage of PCM is a promising way to minimize thermal loads in buildings. This study …
