A comprehensive review of various possible methods for heating and cooling in buildings
are discussed in this paper. The thermal performance of various types of systems like PCM
trombe wall, PCM wallboards, PCM shutters, PCM building blocks, air-based heating
systems, floor heating, ceiling boards, etc., is presented in this paper. All systems have good
potential for heating and cooling in building through phase change materials and also very
beneficial to reduce the energy demand of the buildings.
