“…This capacity contributes to minimize the maximum and the minimum indoor air temperature peaks and to reduce the buildings energy demand [18,[25][26][27]. Many studies and research challenges of PCM into glazing and/or windows solutions can be found in the literature [17,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38].…”

“…These potentials allow the increase of system energy efficiency, and the reduction of pipe size and collector area, moreover save pumping power consumption due to less quantity of heat transfer fluids [19]. But till now, more applications of PCM [20][21][22][23][24][25] have been found in the BIST system for the function of thermal storage with the characteristics of a great thermal energy storage capacity, a high heat transfer property and a positive phase change temperatures. Although the heat transfer of PCM is quite complicated, it has broad prospects for the practical application in the future.…”

“…Their testing facility and equipment allowed them to take a range of measurements to evaluate the performance of the ventilated facade with macro-encapsulated PCM, which are given in Table 2. The active ventilated facade with a PCM, suggested by Diarce et al [38], was studied in a PASLINK test cell with temperature probes and also employed air velocity sensors and pyranometers. Thus, in their work Diarce et al [38] presented data of the global vertical radiation, the outdoor temperatures, and the temperatures inside the PCM at the bottom and the top of the façade.…”
Section: Current Practices In Testing the Thermal Performance Of Tranmentioning
Phase change materials (PCMs) represent an innovative solution that can contribute to the improvement of the energy performance of buildings. Recently a trend towards integrating PCMs into transparent envelope components is observed. This study aims to present the main solutions proposed in the literature for applications in the past few years for PCMs integrated into transparent buildings elements. The temporal development of this application as well as the fundamental principles of its operation is described in detail. The concept of the existing transparent PCM systems is presented, and the rationale of selecting appropriate materials is discussed. This is followed by the current practices in testing the thermal performance of transparent PCMs. The future trends in terms of the current barriers and the potential improvements are discussed. To this end the future technologies of transparent PCMs are also considered.
