Summary

This article describes the development of a thermally-activated ceiling panel design for lightweight and retrofitted buildings. The panel uses paraffin as a phase change material, which the researchers claim has a thermal storage capacity of up to 300 Wh/(m2 day). This enables the panel thickness to be limited to 50 mm. Control of the thermal storage system is by an integrated water capillary tube system. The project also developed a numerical model for the computation of the thermal behaviour of walls and ceiling systems using phase-change materials.
