Microencapsulation of Paraffin with Poly (Urea Methacrylate) Shell for Solar Water Heater (2019)
Journal Article

Previous research has demonstred that microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs) could significantly increase the energy storage density of solar thermal energy storage (TES) systems. Compared with traditional phase change materials (PCMs), ME... Read More about Microencapsulation of Paraffin with Poly (Urea Methacrylate) Shell for Solar Water Heater.

Numerical thermal evaluation of laminated binary microencapsulated phase change material drywall systems (2019)
Journal Article

Microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs) have the potential for energy storage applications in buildings. However, current MEPCMs are limited by their singular phase change transitional temperatures and are therefore unable to satisfy all ye...

Experimental comparison of green facades with outdoor test cells during a hot humid season (2019)
Journal Article

We used outdoor test cells during a hot humid period to analyse the surface temperatures behind the following four types of green walls: a felt layer wall; a planter boxes wall; a direct climbing plants wall, and; an indirect climbing plants wall. We... Read More about Experimental comparison of green facades with outdoor test cells during a hot humid season.
