Active thermal mass enhancement using phase change materials

Buildings account for around 40% of energy consumption in the UK. For over twenty years active thermal mass systems have been a feature in low-energy buildings in northern Europe. By passing ventilation air, and utilising night ventilation, through the hollow core structures efficient heating and co...
