Phase Change Materials as a Thermal Storage Device for Passive Houses

Phase Change Materials as a Thermal Storage Device for Passive Houses

This study describes a simulation-based approach for informing the incorporation of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in buildings designed to the "Passive House" standard. PCMs provide a minimally invasive method of adding thermal mass to a building, thus mitigating overheating events. Phase...
