Abstract
Thermal energy before melting or solidifying without adding physical mass. The stored energy can be released later when it is necessary. The main purpose of this study is to quantify the effectiveness of PCMs as interior temperature stabilizers in the Spanish construction. Another goal was to identify the influence of the windows sizes and their shading factor in a PCM?s passive application, and find out the most convenient combinations. A comparative study has been made, simulating a Test Room, with and without PCM, to predict the annual interior temperature behavior in each case. The thermal performance of the test rooms was evaluated on an hour to hour basis, in several Spanish climate zones with diverse combinations of facade glazing ratio and window shadow factors (Fs).
