How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

An increasing demand for energy and climate change encouraged the search for new ways of using renewable energy sources, including in building structures. At present, improving energy efficiency in buildings by integrating thermal energy storage materials is an urgent task. This paper proposes a mathematical model for the thermal regime in a building with a TES building envelope. The enclosure model consists of gypsum board with 25% of phase change material (PCM). The PCM layers of different thickness reduce room temperature and heat load. The effectiveness evaluation of the proposed model involved calculating the thermal conductivity using the finite difference method. The results show that the incorporation of thermal energy storage materials can reduce temperature fluctuations in the room and maintain a comfortable temperature for a long time (up to 8 hours). With an increase in the thickness of the thermal energy storage layer, the cooling time of the exterior surface of the internal wall also increases.
