Study on the building energy analysis with the Phase changing Material

In a building, the energy usage rises as the temperature increases. By positioning the buildings to provide shade and shield them from the direct path of the sun, it is possible to lower the energy utilization in a structure. Phase-change materials store energy and release it in response to temperature changes in their surroundings. Phase-changing materials (PCM) in building walls and roofs absorb the heat energy exposed to the sun and decrease the room temperature. Also, it can retain heat in cold climates and keep the room warm. An energy analysis study has been carried out with an innovative alternative to minimize energy usage in buildings using PCMs in building elements. The building materials with PCMs reduce thermal and shrinkage cracks and keep the buildings within the defined temperature range by changing their solid phase to liquid phase and vice versa. The energy consumption study was carried out with the conventional building under a direct sun path, with phase-changing materials in buildings, and with open skylight ventilation in buildings.
