DEVELOPMENT OF ACTIVE VENTILATED FAÇADES FOR CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS THROUGH THE INCORPORATION OF PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS.
The aim of this project is to develop industrialisable systems for climate control using panels for building façades and roofs which consider the storage of thermal energy with micro-encapsulated phase change materials. The aim is to offer innovative materials with exceptional thermal behaviour, which offer multiple environmental, economic and commercial advantages, grounded in criteria of competitiveness and efficiency.
Furthermore, the idea is to ascertain the potential behaviour under service conditions of ventilated façades with thermal accumulation via PCMs. The project has defined the potential structures to be evaluated, selected the materials, manufactured prototypes of the structures, and conducted studies into the thermal stability and corrosion between the materials used, as well as basic thermal behaviour.
