Sažetak
Phase change materials are considered a very promising technology to reduce energy consumption for space heating and cooling purposes in buildings. In this framework, this paper presents a comprehensive energy performance analysis of building envelopes integrating phase change materials to provide suitable selection and design criteria of
such technology. To this aim, an in-house dynamic simulation model implemented in a computer code, and validated by means of experimental data, has been used. The performance of phase change materials embedded in building enclosures and their optimal configuration (i.e., positions with respect to the construction layers) are
evaluated. The results obtained by applying the code to suitable case studies (several climate zones and buildings are investigated) return that the energy saving percentage potentials per cubic meter of phase change materials range from 1.9%/m3 to 18.8%/m3. Finally, interesting design criteria for their adoption in buildings are provided.
