WORKSHOP
“Thermal Storage & Phase-Change Materials (PCMs): Advanced Materials for Energy-Efficient Buildings & Industrial Heat Management”
We bring together leading academic scientists and researchers!
November 24th, 2026 1pm - 5pm
Scope of the event
Phase-change materials store and release thermal energy during phase transitions, improving insulation and enabling passive temperature regulation. Advanced salt hydrates, bio-based PCMs, and aerogel composites are transforming energy-efficient building systems.
The workshop addresses material chemistry, integration into HVAC systems, and carbon reduction strategies.
Key Takeaways & Outputs
• PCM chemistry and thermal cycling performance
• Integration into buildings and industrial systems
• Energy savings and carbon reduction metrics
• Durability and lifecycle performance
• Standards and regulatory alignment
• Commercial deployment case studies
