A life cycle assessment of PCM and VIP in warm Mediterranean climates and their introduction as a strategy to promote energy savings and mitigate carbon emissions

A life cycle assessment of PCM and VIP in warm Mediterranean climates and their introduction as a strategy to promote energy savings and mitigate carbon emissions

The building stock in southern Europe grossly lacks sufficient thermal envelope insulation, leading to high energy inputs and corresponding CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Phase change materials (PCMs) and vacuum insulations panels (VIPs) could be an innovative way to curtail the high heating...
