paranel,
a thermo-responsive glazing system
Phase Change Material?
The innovative solution for building envelops in the era of energy consciousness!
This research presents a novel strategy of integrating PCM within the glazing system. This is achieved by using computational design tools to derive the morphology & simulating its thermal performance and physical prototyping and testing to prove the concept. The result of the physical testing reveals a significant reduction in peak temperature which compares with the double glazing system.
