ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN BUILDINGS USING BIO PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL

Phase change materials have several applications and effects as energy storage elements insulation on buildings' efficiency, air-conditioning, heating systems (HVAC). In this study, the evaluation of conservation enhancement passive system by integrating phase material with building envelopes is performed. Two identical modules were built (each 109 cm × 89 38 cm); first module represents present conventional for comparison purposes, while second contains bio (BioPCM). It was found that during summer season maximum temperature swing 6°C BioPCM 15°C without BioPCM. The average reduction cooling load 14.73% 2 hours 50 minutes peak shifting. During winter season, obtained results showed 4°C 6.5°C 33.49%,
