Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate how NePCMs can stabilize indoor temperatures and reduce energy use under various Moroccan climatic conditions.
  • Assessed NePCM effectiveness with CuO nanoparticles in PCM RT25 at 25°C melting point.
  • Conducted evaluations in three different Moroccan cities under winter and summer conditions.
  • Monitored indoor temperature variations and energy consumption of HVAC systems.
  • NePCM effectively maintained indoor temperatures within the comfort range during extreme outdoor temperatures.
  • Significant reduction in energy consumption for HVAC systems when NePCM was utilized in buildings.
  • Variations in climatic conditions influenced the effectiveness of the NePCM application.

Abstract

Climatic conditions are extreme in some parts of Morocco, with extreme outdoor temperatures. Researchers in the construction sector are focusing more and more on combination applications of NePCMs in buildings. Indeed, as these materials enable passive temperature adjustment, they will contribute to reducing the energy consumption of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. To this end, the effect of using nanoparticles CuO (3%) with PCM RT25 for a melting temperature of 25°C on the hottest day under different climatic conditions in Morocco will be assessed. This research aims to maintain the temperature within the thermal comfort range for occupants by reducing temperature variations and energy consumption, while comparing the effect of climatic conditions for the two seasons of the year (winter and summer) in each zone to determine the effect of NePCM on the building
