It has been proven that the integration of phase change materials (PCM) into building enclosures helps with wall thermal management as well as in reducing building energy consumption. Most older and some current PCM integration methods for building enclosures are impractical and…

A courtyard is a case of building geometry that creates flow conditions along its surfaces different from those on the building's exterior surfaces. These flow conditions affect convection heat transfer rates from courtyard surfaces. The prediction of convection heat transfer fr…
