Application of the Phase Change Material in Building Energy Efficiency

Abstract:

Phase change material possesses excellent heat storage performance that can provide some advantages to buildings. This paper introduces the properties of the phase change material , discusses the criterion of the phase change material that can be used in architecture, analysis the principles about the architectural application of phase change material, and especially discusses the ways how to use the phase-change energy storage materials for construction in building energy efficiency. Besides, this paper also analysis the future prospects and some problem still existing.
