Multiphysics Design Optimization Model for Structural Walls Incorporating Phase Change Materials
abstract: Buildings consume a large portion of the world's energy, but with the integration of phase change materials (PCMs) in building elements this energy cost can be greatly reduced. The addition of PCMs into building elements, however, becomes a challenge to model and analyze how the mater...
