Webinar - Phase Change Materials for Decarbonization
Monday, July 29, 2024 (2:00 PM - 3:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
Phase Change Materials (PCM) have been used in various applications for decades. Cold transportation, ice storage, and greenhouses are three applications that utilize the physical laws of phase change: materials absorb and release heat energy WITHOUT changing temperature. Additionally, they add thermal mass to buildings to reduce temperature drift, improving comfort.
PCMs are now available in any temperature from -75C to 175C, with multiple applications available for decarbonization in buildings that utilize HVAC. PCMs are added to ceiling tiles, blankets, panels, bottles, and racks to reduce HVAC consumption by 15-40%, depending on the application.
Presenter
