Short History of PCM Applications in Building Envelopes

The use of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) as thermal storage systems in buildings has been already of interest throughout almost seven decades. Current improvements in building envelope technologies suggest that residences will soon be routinely constructed with low heating and cooling loads. Most often, latent heat storage materials are used to stabilize interior building temperatures. PCM-enhanced building envelopes offer higher per unit heat storage capacity than conventional building materials and provide lightweight structures the benefit of increased thermal mass. This chapter presents a short history of building envelope applications and whole buildings utilizing PCM.
