Simulation Study on Dynamic Thermal Performance of a New Ventilated Roof with Form-Stable PCM in Southern China

Latent heat storage in phase change material (PCM) is an efficient technology that can be applied in building envelopes. Installing PCM in building roof has been effective in altering space cooling loads. However, the heat absorbed by the PCM during the daytime will be released at night; the cooling...
