Construction materials regulate heat

According to scientists, the new material stores and releases heat at specific temperature requirements. Thus, it can significantly reduce the costs of heating and cooling in buildings.

Researchers at the Chinese University of Nottingham Ningbo (UNNC) believe that their new invention will be applied in existing construction structures. New non-deformed energy storage (PCM) materials have greater energy storage capacity, combined with faster thermal response, lower production costs than currently available materials. use.

Thermostats are being developed by researchers at the Center for Sustainable Energy Technology, which can be applied anywhere from walls, roofs to the floor.

The new material is shaped like a circular tablet with a circumference with a large coin. It can be produced in many different shapes and sizes.

Prior to use, the basic structure of the material will be designed to suit specific temperature requirements. They can be used for heating or cooling purposes.

New materials can save up to 35% of the energy currently used in buildings. And scientists also believe that it could also be used in solar panels or LEDs to improve the efficiency of alternative energy technologies.
