In San Diego, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and
Guam a big rollout is underway. Phase
Change Energy Solutions has kicked off their six locale rollout of the innovative
thermal mass product in commercial buildings.
What are Phase Change Materials (PCM) you ask?
Phase change materials do just what their name implies-change
"phases" (for example, liquid to solid or solid to liquid) between
set temperatures. A October 2009 Metal Construction News article describes it
best as during the process of liquefying and solidifying within a set
temperature range, PCMs absorb, store and release large amounts of energy. The
report notes that these natural properties of latent heat energy help maintain
a product's or structure's temperature and buffer it from temperature swings.
PCMs recharge as ambient (outdoor) temperatures fluctuate, making them ideal
for many everyday applications.
There is no question that available in a variety of forms,
bio-based PCMs have myriad applications in the construction industry, with the
most popular uses being an aid to insulation, and in flooring and ceiling tiles.
They also can be used in bridges and sidewalks to prevent icy surfaces from
forming.
Four years ago ,the industry magazine pointed out that PCMs
are effective in residential and commercial new construction and remodels. The
material works by absorbing and releasing energy(heat) based on the outside
temperature to regulate the inside temperature of a structure. During the day
it absorbs heat (cools), and at night it releases heat (heats). This makes a
structure's energy cycle more efficient-intelligently capturing and releasing
otherwise wasted energy.
Today, the way forward is much simpler.
1.You provide us Energy Bills for at least 12 months of service
to your facility.
2.We make a site visit to inspect actual mechanical equipment
and take installation measurements.
3.We will present proposal for Guaranteed Energy Savings and
free labor and materials.
4.We will also install Measurement and Verification Data
(M&V) Loggers for a test period, (typically 15 days) to establish energy
use-then we review the data with you.
5.We install the bioPCM and run for 15 days to show energy
savings.
6.If documented savings not as good as promised, product
remains free. If energy saving is met, then you pay for product based upon a 5
year ROI.
