Thermal heat transfer and energy modeling through incorporation of phase change materials (PCMs) into polyurethane foam

Description: Article describes how decreasing HVAC energy consumption through insulation effectiveness enables low energy use, low carbon emissions, and high thermal comfort in sustainable buildings. In this paper, two PCMs with transition temperature above and below the outdoor temperature incorporated in highly porous flexible polyurethane foam were evaluated using a one-dimensional (1D) foam core panel built in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
