PCM technology for building materials
Researchers have found ways to increase the thermal mass of building structures by using phase-change materials (PCM) into building materials. The PCM effectively increases the thermal mass of the material when temperature increases above or below the transition temperature of the PCM. Aside from energy savings, they can help reduce peak loads in some climates and have the potential to eliminate the need for mechanical air conditioning. Also, using PCMs can ensure long-term reliability, material strength, and ease of installation.
