Lightweight Building Materials for the Storage of Solar Energy
Case studies and computer simulations indicated storing heat sensibly in concrete slabs conflicts seriously with space conditioning and architectural needs. Materials for storing heat latently in sunlit floor and ceiling polymer concrete tiles were developed. The polyester concrete tiles are charged with thin layers of phase change material that stabilize room temperatures and store large quantities of heat without using weighty materials which are expensive to support. The project is limited to concept development, feasibility studies, and experimental programs. This report documents the following: (1) generalized design criteria and performance specifications for passive storage systems; (2) physical principles; (3) feasible solutions; (4) test assembly design experimentation and evaluation; and (5) full scale simulation studies.
