In this paper, effectiveness of phase change materials (PCMs) for application in
passive thermal energy storage (TES) system for space cooling in residential buildings is
investigated numerically. PCM is encapsulated in steel containers and integrated into the
building interior under a ceiling slab. Thermal response of two phase change materials with
different melting/solidification temperatures under the typical summer conditions of the Baltic
States is analysed by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software Ansys Fluent. The
results showed that integration of the passive TES system can reduce the overheating problem
and improve thermal comfort; however full advantage of the PCM storage capacity cannot be
taken without active regeneration of the PCM.
