Özet
Energy demand for heating and cooling of buildings can be minimized through usage of thermal energy storage (TES) systems in building materials. TES in microencapsulated phase change materials provides a new solution to thermally regulated energy efficient buildings. This study summarizes the investigations and analysis of microencapsulated PCMs for building applications. Microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) can be incorporated with many materials that are commonly used in building construction. This paper provides overview of various encapsulation techniques, test methods for MPCMs as well as applications of MPCMs in buildings. There are several micro-encapsulation methods by which the microcapsules of a wide range of sizes between 0.05 mu m and 5000 mu m can be produced. The MPCM incorporated with concrete, mortar, plaster and other materials have a significant potential to increase the thermal capacity of the mixture. Several authors reported testing of building materials with MPCM. Though the increase of thermal capacity with addition of MPCM is significant the decrease of mechanical properties, such as compressive strength, is relatively small. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
