Abstract

Abstract Glazing units are important for providing passive solar gain and air ventilation in buildings, but their thermal performance is very poor compared to other building components, which results that energy loss from building envelope becomes much more drastic when the glazing area is large. Incorporating phase change material (PCM) in the glazing unit is an effective approach to increase its thermal performance. The glazing unit containing PCM can absorb part of the solar radiation for thermal energy storage while letting the visible radiation enter the indoor ambient for daylighting, which results in reduction of the temperature fluctuations and improvement of the thermal comfort of indoor occupants. A lot of researchers investigated optical and thermal performance of window systems containing PCM in buildings. However, there is a lack of published research review including numerical methods of optical and thermal performance and physical parameters of PCM used in the glazing units, especially for the optical performance of glazing units containing PCM. The present work reviews the experimental and simulation researches on the optical and thermal performance of glazing units containing PCM and discusses the employed research methods, mathematical models and important conclusions drawn. Finally, the challenges and future works of glazing units containing PCM are addressed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
