The present review is an extensive overview of the research progress obtained in the field of
Phase Change Material (PCM) integrated with solar thermal applications. Solar energy has …

Building envelope parameters and geometric configurations can considerably influence the
building energy performance. However, determining the best trade-offs of different building …

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 …

Phase change materials (PCMs) incorporated into building envelopes store large amount of
latent heat within a narrow temperature range, regulating heat flow between indoor and …

Phase change materials (PCMs) have the potential to significantly decrease space
conditioning loads and associated carbon emissions when integrated into a building. If …

Buildings contribute to climate change by consuming a considerable amount of energy to
provide thermal comfort for occupants. Cooling energy demands are expected to increase …

Energy use in the building is responsible for one-third of total carbon dioxide (CO 2)
emissions globally. Nearly half of the energy loss occurs through the building envelope due …

Relocatable, transportable or off-site constructed lightweight buildings typically undergo
sharp indoor temperature fluctuations in the heating and cooling seasons due to the lack of …

Renovation of old buildings is a key pillar of decarbonization approved in the Net Zero
Emissions (NZE) scenario. Based on NZE requirements, the share of zero-carbon-ready …

In this study, an experimental and numerical work aims to analyze and investigate PCM
capsules' use as an insulation material into the hollow bricks that form a wall. A novel model …
