An Explicit Finite Element Method for Thermal Simulations of Buildings with Phase Change Materials
The thermal performance of building envelopes is essential for building thermal comfort and the reduction of building energy requirements. Phase change materials (PCMs) implemented in building envelopes can improve thermal performance. An explicit finite element method (ex-FEM) has been developed ba...
