Energy Storing Walls

Energy Storing Walls explores innovative building materials designed to conserve energy. It highlights how smart materials, like phase change materials (PCMs) and thermochemical materials (TCMs), can store and release energy, reducing reliance on traditional heating and cooling systems. These materials offer a proactive approach to temperature management, going beyond typical thermal insulation methods. The book argues that widespread adoption of these technologies is crucial for achieving significant reductions in building energy consumption and promoting sustainable architecture.

The book progresses logically, beginning with fundamental principles and material types. It then focuses on practical integration into building design, covering material selection and construction techniques. Case studies demonstrate real-world effectiveness in diverse climates. By focusing specifically on integrating energy-storing materials into wall construction, the book offers a unique, systems-thinking approach, considering interactions between the building envelope, HVAC systems, and occupant behavior to help architects, engineers, and building designers make informed decisions.
