Empirical Validation of a Thermal Model of a Complex Roof Including Phase Change Materials

Empirical Validation of a Thermal Model of a Complex Roof Including Phase Change Materials

This paper deals with the empirical validation of a building thermal model of a complex roof including a phase change material (PCM). A mathematical model dedicated to PCMs based on the heat apparent capacity method was implemented in a multi-zone building simulation code, the aim being to increase...
