In a recent meeting of IEA's Annex 23, several members presented their conclusions on the modeling of phase change materials behavior in the context of building applications. These conclusions were in agreement with those of a vast review, involving the survey of more than 250 journal papers,...

The objective of this study is to evaluate three different phase change models used to predict the energy behaviour of a PCM cement mortar sample. Reference data are measured on large samples of composite material using a special experimental set-up. The phase change models tested are: the...
