Abstract

Algeria is aiming to reduce energy consumption in different sectors including building. A program is underway to thermally insulate new as well as existing buildings. In this perspective, potential of smart materials such as phase change materials (PCM) is reviewed aiming to support this energy efficiency program by indicating research gaps and recommendations for decision makers. In this paper, PCM is firstly introduced with its available types and advantages over conventional insulation materials. Then, the technical aspect particularly how to incorporate PCM in buildings is presented. Moreover, researchon PCM is reviewed and thermal performance is highlighted. This review showed the lack of research on PCM applied to the Algerian environment. Limitations, research gaps, and recommendations are provided as conclusions of this paper.
