Phase Change Roof Insulation
It works the same as ice inside a cooler slowly melting or thawing to maintain a target temperature using the process of phase change.
Phase change roof insulation. Explore our energy solutions. Phase change material technology absorbs heat during the day and releases it at night creating a more efficient energy cycle. About this time the world s largest chemical company germany s basf introduced their micronal. Based on these thermal effects specific applications of textile coatings and laminates treated with phase change materials in protective garments active wear and architectural roofing systems are discussed.
This report focuses on building envelopes that have been enhanced with phase change materials pcms which can simultaneously reduce total cooling loads and shift peak hour loads. This process absorbs energy and cools the air of your house. The chapter reviews the thermal effects obtained by phase change materials and methods to measure these thermal effects. It was around 2004 when phase change materials really started to make inroads into architecture.
The phase change energy solutions advantage. Phase change material is a natural component that easily integrates with fabral roof and wall systems. When installed within a structure biopcm actively stabilizes interior temperature absorbing heat when temperature exceeds a desired target and releasing heat when temperature drops below that target. Our suite of building efficiency products is powered by biopcm a patented and proprietary phase change material.
Discover how our biopcm powered solutions can reduce your organizations hvac costs up to 35 while improving thermal comfort. The insulation system 10 180 includes a first inner layer of insulative material 18 184 and a second outer layer of insulative material 19 186 with an intermediate layer of phase change.
