Experimental tile with phase change materials (PCM) for building use

Abstract The use of phase change materials (PCM) and their possible architectural integration is a path in the search for optimizing energy efficiency in construction. As part of this path, a pavement has been designed which, in combination with the PCM, serves as a passive thermal conditioning system (new patent n°. ES2333092 A1) [1] . The prototype has been tested experimentally and the results proved that it is a viable constructive solution improving the energy performance of sunny locals.
