Climate-active heat storage in construction materials

Construction systems with integrated phase-change materials (PCM) can store a high degree of heat at room temperature. If this heat is transported by means of water-carrying systems, it is possible to regulate room temperatures in an energy-efficient manner. This research project focused on the ongoing development of materials, components and systems with paraffins, the identification of promising applications, the performance of system tests and the development of a planning tool.

Solar Decathlon Winner –"Living 2015" Prototype

1st prize in the international "Solar Decathlon 2007" competition to find the most attractive and energy-efficient solar home in 2007 went to Germany. The competition rules require a fully energy-independent building with a floor area limited to 75 m². The prototype is laden with new technologies and concepts: Vacuum insulation (VIP), thermo-active building systems using phase change materials (PCM), solar power generation (PV) integrated into the facade and roof and many other features ensure energy autonomy.
