Thermal Energy Storage systems (TES), using phase change materials (PCM) in building sector, are widely investigated technologies and a fast developing research area. The use of PCM in building solutions and components appear as a potential solution to increase the thermal efficiency in buildings, either new or refurbished, since they can storage more energy, in latent form, than the typical sensible energy stored by common construction materials. However, the low thermal conductivity of PCM limits their full potential use because it slows down the heat transfer response associated to the charging and discharging processes. The present work approaches this frailty exploring the development of building solutions which incorporate s...
