Due to EU and worldwide high energy consumption of the buildings stock, it is important to take measures to reduce these needs and, consequently, reduce the EU energy dependency as well as the greenhouse gas emissions. To improve the behaviour of the buildings, concerning thermal comfort of the occupants and energy performance, it is necessary to reduce the thermal amplitudes, the winter heat losses, the summer heat gains and to store the energy from solar gains. The thermal insulation and the thermal inertia play an important role in this. The use of phase change materials (PCM) is a way of achieving thermal mass without increasing the weight of the buildings and simultaneously improving the thermal comfort conditions inside buildings, by ...
