Abstract

In this chapter, we investigate the thermal behavior of phase change materials (PCM) for heating indoor applications. The model consists of PCM/concrete wall, located in Casablanca – Morocco (33°36′N, 07°36′W). It was observed that a high amount of heat is stored in the wall because the PCM offers an important heat density, and latent heat stored during the melting of PCM can be used for the night heating. It emerged that the PCM/concrete wall is able to provide better living thermal conditions with less inner temperature fluctuations.
