Thermal performance and economic evaluation of a newly developed phase change material for effective building encapsulation

Ever-growing construction industries worldwide require energy saving, environmental friendly, inexpensive, and thermally efficient materials. Driven by this demand, we evaluated the thermal performance and economy of a newly developed PCM called local paraffin. These PCMs as potential thermal energy...
