Phase Change Materials
In this episode we explore the strange and wonderful phase change materials that just may alter the way we think about buildings.
Show Notes
In our first ever episode of the building science podcast, Kristof & Michael introduce a wild product that could change how your home can passively handle heat loads. A phase change material (PCM) is a substance with a high heat of fusion which, melting and solidifying at a certain temperature, is capable of storing and releasing large amounts of energy. Heat is absorbed or released when the material changes from solid to liquid and vice versa; thus, PCMs are classified as latent heat storage (LHS) units.
Join us as we begin this wild adventure with very little knowledge of how to make a podcast. We hope it goes well and that you enjoy!
