Investigation and Development on Phase Change Energy Storage in Adjustment and Control of Building Indoor Temperature

Abstract:

Since energy storage with phase change materials is an effective means of energy saving or conservation in buildings, its investigation and applications have received more and more during the recent years. The research actuality on energy saving of adjustment and control of building indoor temperature was summarized in this paper, and the two types of the major techniques with phase change material applied in adjustment and control of building indoor temperature was reviewed, in which one is the technique combined phase change material with building maintenance structure, the other is the technique to make phase change material applied to heating or air conditioning systems. The future research of phase change energy storage in adjustment and control of building indoor temperature was prospected.
