Obtained results were compared with the ones of a building without phase change material in wall barriers. Object of comparing calculations is a model of a real service building located in Silesia. It has light-frame construction with light covering (external metal sheet, heat-insulation, interior metal sheet). In subsequent examinations, the presence of 1 cm thick PCM board placed under the inner surface of a metal sheet was assumed. Tests were conducted for organic materials that undergo phase transition in different temperatures such as 23°C, 25°C, 27°C or 29°C. Based on results of operative temperature measurements, it is possible to determine PCM influence on the building overheating risk.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.14.207.3295}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/phase-change-materials-vs-internal-temperature-in-a-building} }
