A review on phase change materials for thermal energy storage in buildings: Heating and hybrid applications

Khaireldin Faraj et al.

Summary: Research on thermal energy storage, particularly phase change materials like PCMs, is crucial for improving energy efficiency and maintaining thermal comfort in buildings. Current studies focus on the effectiveness of PCM in building heating applications and the significance of PCM system hybridization, while further experimental investigations and optimization of hybrid systems are still needed.

Energy efficiency optimization of PCM and aerogel-filled multiple glazing windows

Shu Zhang et al.

Summary: This study numerically investigated the energy performance of ten different glazing configurations in the severe cold climate of China. The results showed that adding PCM into the glass window degrades its thermal performance in winter, but using silica aerogel together with a PCM can improve thermal comfort. Adjusting optical parameters of the glass significantly enhances the energy efficiency of the glass window coupled with the silica aerogel and PCM.

A novel approach to investigate the thermal comfort of the lightweight relocatable building integrated with PCM in different climates of Kazakhstan during summertime

Indira Adilkhanova et al.

Summary: This study investigated the potential of PCM and natural ventilation in enhancing thermal comfort in lightweight relocatable buildings in Kazakhstan during summer. The study introduced a new indicator, TDC, to select the optimal PCM and evaluated the performance in terms of both TDC values and storage efficiency. The research concluded that PCM 26 + NV was the best performing combination in all cities, and highlighted the efficiency of RT 26 + NV in improving thermal comfort conditions. Further analysis under climate change scenarios identified RT 28 + NV and RT 26 + NV as the optimum combinations for future use.
