Abstract

For a variety of climatic conditions, PCM-enhanced building envelope products are widely considered as prospective building technologies which can help in the near future to achieve peak-hour load and HVAC energy consumption reductions. Notable energy savings can be accomplished in residential and commercial buildings, by means of a variety of applications utilizing external envelopes, as well as internal building fabric technologies having capability of sensible and latent heat accumulation. This chapter is mainly focused on most popular building construction products containing PCM. Associated patents are discussed as well.
