A weather forecast-based control for the improvement of PCM enhanced radiant floors

Silvia Cesari et al.

Summary: When adopting underfloor heating/cooling in lightweight building envelopes, significant energy savings and thermal comfort improvement may not be achieved. To address this issue, phase change materials (PCMs) are suitable candidates due to their minimal effect on construction technology while still providing the necessary thermal inertia. Advanced control strategies are required to optimize the energy benefits of PCMs, taking into account variables such as internal heat gains, weather conditions, and dynamic energy prices. However, there is a lack of experimental studies analyzing the implementation of weather prediction data in PCM enhanced radiant floor systems. This study aims to evaluate a control strategy for managing PCM enhanced radiant floor systems in lightweight buildings based on forthcoming weather conditions.

Building energy efficiency and load flexibility optimization using phase change materials under futuristic grid scenario

Sajith Wijesuriya et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the energy savings and load flexibility capacity of phase change material (PCM) integrated into building envelope under a future energy generation scenario, where 80% of the energy load comes from renewable sources. The study optimizes the operating parameters of PCM, such as thickness, latent heat, interior setpoint profile, distribution, and heat transfer coefficient, to maximize energy reduction and load flexibility without compromising thermal comfort. The results show that the proposed PCM-integrated envelope can provide annual load flexibility of up to 33.6% and annual energy savings of up to 10.8% in a lightweight residential building located in Baltimore, MD. This study is important as it addresses the increasing contribution of renewable energy and explores practical ways to implement PCM in buildings to improve energy efficiency and load flexibility.
