Characterization of polymers and Microencapsulated Phase Change Materials used for Thermal Energy Storage in buildings

The use of renewable heat decreases the consumption of fossil resources, although its usage is intermittent and usually does not match the demand. A proper thermal energy storage system design can eliminate this problem by reducing the consumption of non-renewable resources and improving energy effi...
