Energy Efficient Phase Change Materials (PCM) Insulation

Abstract

This project Energy Efficient Phase Change Materials (PCM) Insulation demonstrated the application of phase change materials based insulation, an emerging technology, to mitigate energy losses via building envelopes. The idea of mitigating envelope-related energy losses has been at the forefront of the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense High Priority Performance Goals since the Energy Independence and Security of 2007 (EISA 07).
