Abstract

See full text

Processes for incorporating phase change materials (PCM) into porous construction elements, composite construction elements produced thereby, and structures constructed therefrom. Such a process includes heating a PCM to a temperature at or above a melting temperature thereof to liquify the PCM and yield a liquid PCM, fully immersing a porous construction element in the liquid PCM, and infiltrating the liquid PCM into porosity of the construction element while the construction element and liquid PCM are at a subatmospheric pressure level and at a temperature sufficient to maintain the PCM in a liquid state to yield a composite construction element in which the porosity of the construction element has been at least partially filled with the PCM. Such a composite construction element is preferably capable of increasing the thermal inertia of a building envelope constructed therefrom with little or no detrimental effects on properties of the construction elements.
