Climate change has an impact on all the areas that operate in a construction environment and, essentially, on the life cycle of a home; in which the materials affect the construction process according to their energy content. The adobe is used for its thermal conductivity to improve the internal temperature of a home; However, in cold climates their behavior is not very efficient. In this sense, the phase change material (PCM) can be used as an alternative because it is capable of storing latent heat and increasing the thermal mass of a building. In the present work, 06 insulation systems for walls, ceilings and floors of an adobe house are analyzed thermal insulation system is proposed, and a prototype is made with some components in 3D printing; the results indicate that the systems Trombe-PCM wall, translucent concrete block wall-PCM, false ceiling-PCM, concrete ceiling-PCM, alveolar floor-CM and plasterboard floor-PCM are adequate; with the proposed insulation system, an improvement of 42.71% of the internal thermal comfort is achieved when compared to adobe house without PCM; and an increase of 320.38% with respect to the Imata temperature, while the Trombe-PCM wall system prototype allows to make corrections in the design for its implementation on a real scale.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
