Abstract

Research in the use of phase change materials for buildings has successfully shown that use of phase change materials results in savings and the environmentally benign use of premium energy. Research work in thermal comfort using phase change materials needs to be more compatible with other building materials. This article reviews the preparation and utilization of various organic phase change materials investigated by researchers for thermal comfort in buildings. The effect of mixing of different phase change materials and ensuing chemical processes on the melting point and latent heat was reviewed.
