| Saving energy has become very crucial in today’s world. Fossil fuels are commonly used for more electric power generation. Their availability is continually decreasing, in addition they contribute to the environmental global warming. Therefore, we should find ways to increase the efficiency of systems using electrical power. Electricity is commonly used directly for heating or cooling building spaces. The use of thermal energy storage is one way to make the current energy systems sustainable, efficient, economic, and environmental friendly. Thermal energy could be stored in different ways. Basic storage methods are sensible heat, latent heat storage and thermochemical or combination of these. Thermal energy storage with phase change materials are achieved by using the solid-liquid phase change. PCMs can be used for both space heating and cooling applications. In building applications, the PCM is associated with structuring components. It is possible to improve thermal comfort and energy performance of buildings with integration of PCM in building walls. This paper investigates the feasibility of PCMs for cooling application in San Antonio and similar environmental locations. This study examines the possibility of integration of PCMs in building walls in San Antonio in order to reduce to the amount of energy consumed in cooling applications. It will describe the advantages and limitations of integrating PCMs in building walls. The results of a one-dimensional transient heat transfer model will be presented in the paper. |
