Description for PCM-Enhanced Building Components: An Application of Phase Change Materials in Building Envelopes and Internal Structures
Hardback. Series: Engineering Materials and Processes. Num Pages: 271 pages, 101 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: AMC; TGM; TNK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 245 x 164 x 20. Weight in Grams: 576.
Presenting an overview of the use of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) within buildings, this book discusses the performance of PCM-enhanced building envelopes. It reviews the most common PCMs suitable for building applications, and discusses PCM encapsulation and packaging methods. In addition to this, it examines a range of PCM-enhanced building products in the process of development as well as examples of whole-building-scale field demonstrations. Further chapters discuss experimental and theoretical analyses (including available software) to determine dynamic thermal and energy performance characteristics of building enclosure components containing PCMs, and present different laboratory and field testing methods. Finally, a wide range ... Read more
