Latent Heat Storage for Energy-Efficient Buildings and Zero-Carbon Communities offers a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements transforming the energy efficiency of buildings worldwide. The book begins by establishing a solid foundation in phase-change materials, exploring their thermo-physical properties and nanoscale thermal transport mechanisms. Readers are introduced to encapsulation techniques and methods for enhancing heat transfer, all of which are vital for improving the performance and sustainability of modern structures. By addressing both fundamental principles and innovative practices, this reference serves as an essential resource for professionals and researchers dedicated to creating net-zero energy buildings and zero-carbon communities.

Beyond foundational knowledge, the book presents practical integration of latent heat storage within building envelopes, solar photovoltaics, and heating/cooling systems, supported by mathematical modeling and performance analysis. It examines thermal management strategies for sustainable construction, introduces artificial intelligence-powered tools for system simulation and optimization, and discusses demand-side management control.
