PCM Material Comparisons


Utilizing phase change material integrated into modern drywall (2cm), the heat storage capacity becomes that of 24 cm of concrete, 36 cm of brick masonry, 38 cm of timber, or 226 cm of light construction.  The integration of phase change materials allows for a high degree of heat storage capacity in a thin and lightweight structure.




The temperature swing experienced is significantly decreased when phase change materials are integrated into building structures.  In this example a phase change material with a melting point of  24˚C (75.2˚F)
