TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of the integration of phase change materials in building walls is presented. But, even if the integrated phase change material have a good potential for reducing energy demand, further investigations are needed to really assess their use.
Abstract: The present paper is the first comprehensive review of the integration of phase change materials in building walls. Many considerations are discussed in this paper including physical considerations about building envelope and phase change material, phase change material integration and thermophysical property measurements and various experimental and numerical studies concerning the integration. Even if the integrated phase change material have a good potential for reducing energy demand, further investigations are needed to really assess their use.

TL;DR: In this article, a room was equipped with phase change material (PCM) wallboards in the lateral walls and in the ceiling, and the results showed that the PCM wallboards enhanced the thermal comfort of occupants due to air temperature and radiative effects of the walls.
174 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a photovoltaics/thermal (PV/T) collector combined with a solar water heating collector and PV cells was used to limit the rise of the cell operating temperature.
169 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a new TRNSYS Type, named Type 260, is developed to model the thermal behavior of an external wall with phase change materials, and validated using experimental data from the literature.
134 citations

TL;DR: The need of solar industry with its fundamental concepts, worlds energy scenario, highlights of researches done to upgrade solar industry, its potential applications and barriers for better solar industry in future in order to resolve energy crisis as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: World׳s energy demand is growing fast because of population explosion and technological advancements. It is therefore important to go for reliable, cost effective and everlasting renewable energy source for energy demand arising in future. Solar energy, among other renewable sources of energy, is a promising and freely available energy source for managing long term issues in energy crisis. Solar industry is developing steadily all over the world because of the high demand for energy while major energy source, fossil fuel, is limited and other sources are expensive. It has become a tool to develop economic status of developing countries and to sustain the lives of many underprivileged people as it is now cost effective after a long aggressive researches done to expedite its development. The solar industry would definitely be a best option for future energy demand since it is superior in terms of availability, cost effectiveness, accessibility, capacity and efficiency compared to other renewable energy sources. This paper therefore discusses about the need of solar industry with its fundamental concepts, worlds energy scenario, highlights of researches done to upgrade solar industry, its potential applications and barriers for better solar industry in future in order to resolve energy crisis.
