Phase change material in conjunction with a passive latent heat thermal energy storage
approach is a potentially effective way to solve the growing concerns about building
energy usage. This research examines the thermal performance of building envelopes
in Miskolc, Hungary. The factors impacting the thermal performance of phase change
material integrated into the building envelope were assessed. The findings indicate
that the enthalpy and melting temperature of the phase change material significantly
impact the effectiveness of phase change material-based walls. It was determined the
optimal location of the phase change material layer is possible. This determination
is intricately related to the thermal properties of the phase change material and
the prevailing environmental conditions.
