Abstract
The main conclusions taken from the research studies on prototype solutions show the PCM potential to enhance the thermal performance of buildings through the glazing and shading devices. This studies show that the PCM technology applied to the glazed areas of the building envelope can significantly improve the energy efficiency, and with the reduction of the product costs this technology will appear soon into the typical building construction systems.
