A Finite Element-Based Framework for Understanding the Energy Performance of Concrete Elements Incorporating Phase Change Materials
abstract: Dwindling energy resources and associated environmental costs have resulted in a serious need to design and construct energy efficient buildings. One of the strategies to develop energy efficient structural materials is through the incorporation of phase change materials (PCM) in the host...
