Building envelope is a key element in providing adequate energy and thermal comfort
performance to buildings. In this regard, improvement solutions are implemented in recent …

In recent years, phase change materials (PCMs) have increasingly received attention in
different thermal energy storage and management fields. In the building sector, paraffin as a …

Thermal energy storage (TES) through the use of construction materials incorporating phase
change materials (PCMs) can prevent temperature fluctuations and allow energy saving in …

This study presents the experimental results of concrete bricks based macroencapsulated
phase change material (PCM) in different capsule designs (circular, square and rectangular …

This paper experimentally investigates the optimal position of a phase change material
(PCM) incorporated composite roof under Iraq climatic conditions. The roof composed of …

This paper performed a detailed study on the fundamental properties and thermal
conductivity of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) self-insulation block, and the mechanical …

This research focuses on the integration of waste materials derived from sugar sediment and
recycled AAC into the manufacturing process of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) to …

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)-confined foam concrete can be applied in structure
protection, eg, as an impact barrier of bridge piers, in which it is used as the core of the …

This work focused on characterizing and improving the thermal behavior of metal sheet
roofing. To decrease the heat transfer from the roof into a building, we investigated the …

This research focuses on the thermal properties of three distinctive paraffin waxes—PCMA,
PCMB, and PCMC—each characterized by a specific melting point. The crucial phase …
