An Assessment of the PCM/Timber Composite in Buildings

Abstract:

This paper reviews a modeling study on PCM/timber composite materials and their incorporation in building materials, particularly in passive applications. Commercially available paraffin PCMs (RT21 and RT27) were incorporated in timber for increasing its thermal mass. In order to evaluate PCM/timber composite material behavior in building, computer simulation was performed. The obtained results showed that by using this technique it is possible to increase the thermal mass and reduce cooling loads in summer conditions.
