Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Enhancing building efficiency with Phase Change Materials (PCM) involves leveraging their unique thermalproperties to improve energy management and reduce reliance on heating and cooling systems. PCM can absorb,store and release thermal energy during phase transitions, helping to stabilize indoor temperatures. This paperexplores the integration of PCM into various building components, including walls, ceilings, floors and windows,as well as their application in HVAC systems and roofing solutions.This project explores the potential of enhancing building efficiency through the integration of Phase ChangeMaterials (PCM), rainwater harvesting, solar energy, HVAC systems, and Greywater recycling. Key objectivesinclude evaluating the use of PCM in walls, ceilings, floors, windows, HVAC systems and roofing to optimizeindoor temperature regulation. The study investigates thermal performance of PCM their ability to absorb, storeand release thermal energy and their impact on reducing energy consumption.Additionally, the integration of rainwater harvesting systems and Greywater recycling is assessed for waterconservation and sustainable water management. The role of solar energy in reducing reliance on non-renewableenergy sources is also examined. The findings demonstrate that combining these technologies significantlyenhances building efficiency, promoting sustainable practices and contributing to energy efficient design andimproved environmental performance.
