Experimental and Numerical Results of Summer Comfort in a Building Equipped with Phase Change Materials (PCM)

摘要

In order to validate the potential of PCM,an office building has been monitored during about one year.A room was equipped with PCM on the lateral walls and on the ceiling.Another room,identical to the first one,was not equipped but also monitored.Some relevant results of this monitoring are presented.In this study we analyse the conditions allowing the improvement of thermal comfort with the PCM.When this one is efficient,the thermal sensors evolution in the walls give us information in order to understand the improvement or not of the comfort,especially in mid-season.
