Solar walls provide transformative solutions by harnessing solar energy to generate electricity, improve thermal comfort, and reduce energy consumption and emissions, contributing to zero-energy buildings and mitigating climate change. In hot and humid regions, solar walls can reduce indoor temperatures by 30% to 50%, significantly improving energy efficiency. Optimizing the performance of solar walls includes factors such as glazing, shading, solar orientation, ventilation, and catalytic techniques, allowing them to be adapted to different climates. Innovative solar wall variants that include photovoltaic panels, water storage, and phase-change materials offer multifunctionality and sustainability in building design and are in line with global energy efficiency and environmentally conscious goals. In addition, innovative solar wall variants that combine photovoltaic panels, water storage, and phase-change materials promise even more sustainability in building design. These multifunctional solar wall systems can efficiently heat, cool, and generate energy, further reducing a building’s environmental impact. Solar walls have the potential to significantly reduce heating energy consumption; align with global goals for energy-efficient, environmentally conscious, and climate-responsive building design; and offer dynamic and adaptable solutions for sustainable architecture.

“…A phase change material, if used in a building, exchanges large amounts of heat with the environment through successive cycles of melting and freezing as a result of severe changes in air temperature, thus providing a more balanced air temperature for the space inside the building [8]. In several studies that have been conducted in the field of the use of such materials in buildings, very favorable results have been obtained in connection with the reduction in energy consumption for cooling and heating, as well as the ease of providing comfort [9][10][11].…”

In this research, the optimization of energy consumption of zero-energy buildings using PCMs in the two study cities of Vancouver and Dubai and its energy supply with a multi-generation geothermal system is discussed. PCMs used in the walls and roofs of designed buildings are of two types, namely PCM (solid) and PCM (liquid). By optimizing the energy consumption of the residential complex in two study cities, it is finally possible to choose the best mode in optimal conditions to reduce energy consumption in the residential complex, reduce the costs of the residential complex, and reduce the environmental pollution. The results showed that the amount of electricity consumption, heating, and cooling of the residential complex during the year in the city of Vancouver is 8493.55, 7899.1, and 1083.97 kWh, respectively, and in the city of Dubai, the values are 9572.1, 8.99, and 18,845.44 kW, respectively. Also, by optimizing the energy consumption of residential complexes in Vancouver and Dubai, it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions by 2129.7 and 2773.2 kg/year, respectively. The electricity consumption of the residential complex in Dubai is 11.26% and the carbon dioxide emission is 23.20% more. In the end, a multi-generation system is proposed to meet the energy consumption of a six-unit zero-energy residential complex with 120 m2 and two bedrooms in Vancouver, Canada. By setting up the study system in the city of Vancouver, 237,364.6 kWh of electricity, 425,959.4 kWh of heating, and 304,732.8 kWh of electricity can be produced in one year. According to the investigation, the geothermal system can easily provide the energy consumption required by residential buildings.

Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are generally considered as a potential candidate for thermal energy storage (TES) as they possess excellent latent heat. TES system's thermal management potential is greatly hampered due to the degraded thermal conductivity of PCMs. The present study explores the long‐term durability (potential degradation) of eutectic phase change composite loaded with TiO2 nanoparticles. The synthesized nano‐enhanced eutectic phase change composite (NePCC) logged a maximal thermal conductivity of 0.6 W/mK with 0.5% nanofillers. Accelerated thermal cycling was performed on the NePCC with 0.5% TiO2 nanoparticles (M2). The long‐term reliability of the NePCC (M2) was confirmed through a comprehensive morphological and thermophysical analysis after 4000 melt‐freeze cycles. The nano‐enhanced eutectic phase change material showed excellent thermal stability up to 100 °C even after 4000 thermal cycles, indicating its long‐term application prospects. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) results of the thermally cycled sample (M2) proved the chemical stability of the NePCC. A negligible variation was found in latent heat and phase transition temperature values (for M2) after 4000 thermal cycles. Thermophysical characterization of the thermal cycled NePCC (M2) proves the thermal stability of the synthesized NePCC (M2), which is adequate for its usage in medium‐temperature TES systems.
