Abstract

People in the developed world require comfortable indoor climatic conditions. In the summer time there is often risk of the overheating of buildings, especially buildings with lightweight envelope. Requirements for interior temperature are not summarized in one piece of legislation, but parameters of indoor environment are set according to the type of using of internal space by various laws, regulations, standards and other regulations. Passive cooling can maintain a state of indoor environment in the required temperature range in accordance with legislative framework. Presented system uses phase change materials as a latent heat storage medium for better absorption of heat. The tested system combines the latent heat storage material in the form of micro pellets, which are dispersed in the gypsum plaster, and capillary cooling for their activation so that the secondary effect is possibility of a direct radiant cooling of the room.
