Dissertation
Latent and sensible heat storage in concrete blocks
TL;DR: In this article, a practical approach to store energy in building materials by incorporating Phase Change Materials (PCMs) into their structures is presented, where the authors used the concept of latent heat storage in concrete blocks is workable and that a higher amount of heat can be stored.
