Development and optimisation of innovative technologies with energy and environmental benefits: thermochromic (TC) and phase change (PCM) materials
Abstract
The present thesis reports the development, application, evaluation, and optimization of advanced materials that respond and adapt to external environmental conditions and respectively to energy requirements: the thermochromic and phase change materials (PCM). The innovative technologies are based on the exploitation of the intrinsically changing physical and chemical properties aiming at: i. energy savings, ii. mitigation of the urban heat island effect and iii. optimization of internal and external thermal conditions for the users at building and city level respectively. In this framework, the present thesis, sets the following basic targets for the research at the field of advanced materials:- Reduction of the thermal loads due to reduced absorption during the winter period, maintaining the high reflectivity property of the cool materials during the summer period. In this way, the management of solar gains is achieved depending on the requirements: exploitation of the soral irradia ...
