"Strategic design of PCM integrated burnt clay bricks: Potential for co" by Saboor Shaik, Chelliah Arumugam et al.
Globally, the energy demand of the building sector has increased intensely. The use of air conditioning in buildings for thermal comfort consumes a large percentage of this energy. The significant worldwide energy demand stresses the importance of net-zero or green buildings for a sustainable future. The present work investigates the air-conditioning cost-saving potential of the duplex house designed with various phase change materials (PCMs) incorporated burnt clay bricks. Five PCMs were selected, including three organic mixture PCMs (OM18, OM21, and OM29) and two form-stable PCMs (combinatio...
