Abstract

The mitigating urban heat island (UHI) has been extensively studied by many researchers because of its favorable Micro Encapsulated Phase Change Material (MEPCM) property. This helps to reduce the indoor temperature and this article reviews the major effects of reducing the indoor temperature by using MEPCM. The study wants to illustrate that the Phase Change Material (PCM) application is helpful for surface temperature supervision and enhancing indoor thermal performance by passive cooling. Suitable PCMs will maintain the comfort room temperature in the summer by dropping the inner temperature and increasing the temperature in winter. Basic methods of PCM incorporation are macro encapsulation and micro encapsulate by PCM implantation in the buildings. Encapsulation of PCM is essential to increase fusion of heat in the material. The several manufacturing companies on the commercial - scale produced a variety of PCMs, fatty acids, Paraffin, and Fatty acid esters as (MEPCM). PCM application in the Inter Building Environment (IBM), which is a PCM embedded building envelope, reduces the negative impact on energy usage and reasonable progress of yearly Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) energy consumption. A basic understanding of UHI under various PCM is used to analyze the thermal effect in a better.
