Materiali a cambiamento di fase per l'efficienza energetica degli edifici

The thermal inertia of the building can now be easily increased through the use of innovative materials, phase change (phase change materials - PCM) with the ability to obtain a reduction of heat load in summer, a reduction of the oscillations of the internal temperature and consumption for air conditioning, increasing in parallel with the internal microclimatic comfort. The article offers an analysis of the use of PCM in building illustrating the possibilities of integration in the casing and the benefits in terms of comfort and energy savings energetico.Thermal storage of the building envelope can now be easily increased At through the use of innovative 'phase change' materials (PCM) with The Possibility of Obtaining a decrease of heat load in summer, a reduction of the frequency of internal air temperature swings and of consumption for air conditioning, in parallel Increasing the internal Microclimatic comfort. The article offers an analysis of the use of PCM in buildings illustrating the possibilities of integration into the building envelope and the benefits achievable in terms of comfort and energy savings.

L’inerzia termica dell’involucro edilizio può oggi essere facilmente incrementata attraverso l’uso di materiali innovativi a cambiamento di fase (Phase change materials – PCM) con la possibilità di ottenere una diminuzione dei carichi termici estivi, una riduzione delle oscillazioni della temperatura interna e dei consumi per la climatizzazione, incrementando parallelamente il comfort microclimatico interno. L’articolo offre un’analisi dell’uso dei PCM in edilizia illustrandone le possibilità di integrazione nell’involucro e i vantaggi in termini di benessere e di risparmio energetico.
