Review on thermal energy storage with phase change materials (PCMs) in building applications

Phase change materials for thermal energy storage

Cooling the cities – A review of reflective and green roof mitigation technologies to fight heat island and improve comfort in urban environments

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.
