Parametric analysis of influencing factors in Phase Change Material Wallboard (PCMW) [PDF]
, 2013 Incorporating Phase Change Materials (PCMs) into traditional building structures has been considered as an effective way to reduce the mismatch between energy supply and demand and in turn to minimise energy consumption (cooling/heating energy).

Latent heat storage with tubular-encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs)
Energy, 2014 Abstract Heat capture and storage is important in both solar energy projects and in the recovery of waste heat from industrial processes. Whereas heat capture will mostly rely on the use of a heat carrier, the high efficiency heat storage needs to combine sensible and latent heat storage with phase change materials (PCMs) to provide a high energy ...
