PCM applications in every construction phase

Construction phases

The construction phase plays an important role in the application of PCM technology. Whether it concerns new construction or renovation, the way PCM is integrated influences the performance, efficiency and comfort of a building. In both situations, PCM contributes to a stable indoor climate, lower energy consumption and a more sustainable building. Depending on the construction phase, different opportunities and benefits can be achieved.

PCM in new construction

For new construction projects, Autarkis offers a smart and future-proof solution for thermal energy storage and climate control. By incorporating the system during the design phase, PCM can be optimally integrated into floors, walls and ceilings.

This creates buildings that naturally respond better to temperature fluctuations. During the day, excess heat is stored in the PCM, while this stored energy is released in the evening and at night. This helps maintain a stable and comfortable indoor climate without major temperature variations.

An important advantage of PCM in new construction is that building services installations can be designed smaller and more efficiently. This can include a smaller heat pump and reduced cooling capacity requirements. This not only saves space but also lowers energy costs and CO₂ emissions.

In addition, PCM fits perfectly with sustainable building concepts such as all-electric homes and energy-efficient commercial buildings. Combined with solar panels, a significant part of the energy demand can be managed and reused in a smart and efficient way.

PCM in renovation

PCM is also an interesting solution for making existing buildings more sustainable through renovation and refurbishment. Without major structural modifications, PCM can be integrated into ceilings, floors or walls, immediately improving indoor climate conditions.

In many existing buildings, heating and cooling systems are not operating optimally. PCM can provide a solution by absorbing heat peaks and creating a more stable indoor temperature. This improves comfort for occupants and reduces the load on existing installations.

A major advantage of PCM in renovation projects is that it can often be installed quickly with limited disruption. This keeps the impact on residents, employees or business processes to a minimum.

In addition, applying PCM helps reduce energy consumption and operating costs without requiring a complete replacement of the existing system. This makes it an efficient and cost-effective step towards a more sustainable building.
