Improvement of the thermal comfort of building roofs equipped with a phase change materials (PCM) layer under desert weather conditions

In single-story buildings, the roof is the section of the building that receives the most sunlight and hence heat in the summer, making shading difficult. As a result, it is critical to limit this gain by careful design and construction, whether through the shade, insulation, or thermal mass.The use of phase change materials (PCM) in buildings helps to reduce energy reliance by allowing for the us...
