Meta data analysis on building thermal management using phase change materials

Despite the extensive research conducted on phase change materials (PCM) and their effect on thermal comfort in buildings around the globe, there is still a lack of clarity regarding the direction of development and performance in this field of study. A comprehensive analysis employing bibliometrics...
