TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered both cross-sector and cross-border integration in the model PyPSA-Eur-Sec-30, the first open, spatially-resolved, temporally resolved and sector-coupled energy model of Europe, and calculated the cost-optimal system for a 95% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to 1990, incorporating electricity, transport and heat demand.

TL;DR: A review of the latest publications on the use of phase change materials (PCM) in buildings is presented in this article, where the authors present a classification of materials, materials available and problems and possible solutions on the application of such materials in buildings.
Abstract: In recent years the use of thermal energy storage with phase change materials has become a topic with a lot of interest within the research community, but also within architects and engineers. Many publications have appeared, and several books, but the information is disseminated and not very much organised. This paper shows a review of the latest publications on the use of phase change materials (PCM) in buildings. The paper compiles information about the requirements of the use of this technology, classification of materials, materials available and problems and possible solutions on the application of such materials in buildings.
