Building Temperature Control Applications;
(go to the bottom of the page for PCM application examples around the World)
Air Conditioning
Picture right shows the Malaysian ZEO Project. This is the Zero Energy Office, designed to capture energy during night time for release during daytime hours.
Free Cooling
The Headquarters of Melbourne City Council, known as the CH2 building is the only 6* energy efficiency building in the world. Cooling towers are run during hours of darkness, freezing the PCM energy storage which is then released as cool during the day.
Solar Heating
The village used to house the athletes at the Commonwealth Games had been built for normal residential occupation. However, during the Games, the village was full to capacity and the resultant demand on the energy sapping services such as showers meant that the capacity of the hot water tanks had to be increased sevenfold with the introduction of PCM.
Passive Cooling
Ceiling tiles, as pictured right, naturally freeze overnight and release cool during the day as an energy-free cooling.
Fabric TES
Granular PCM is absorbed into building materials, such as plasterboard and concrete to aid the balance between temperature extremes in much the same way that old properties with high ceilings and thick walls achieve a comfortable temperature range.
Heat Recovery
An entire village close to Turin has been designed to utilise CHP (Combined Heat & Power) using PCM energy storage for both hot and cold sides of the system with superior economics.
Solar House
A purpose-built property in USA provides comfort cooling and heating without the need for any energy input.
DOHA Stadium for FIFA 2022
The winning big for the FIFA 2022 World Cup by QATAR is based on a zero carbon cooling design using solar driven air conditioning coupled with PlusICE PCM energy storage tanks.
