Parametric and optimization analyses of a dynamic trombe wall incorporating PCM to save heating energy under cold climate zones

The Trombe wall system incorporating a dynamic PCM layer (DTWPS) has been recognized as a viable envelope to reduce the energy demand for heating effectively. However, properly selecting PCMs in the DTWPS is complicated and much less studied. Therefore, parametric and optimization analyses of the PCM thermal properties of a DTWPS are carried out for heating energy saving under cold climate zones using a validated CFD model, multiple linear and …
