-~1* 5-~ '"M'' ·~~ TP-2"-73f that are 2.67 times greater than the energy charges (assuming 220 hours of uniform cooling loads per month). Nearly 3/4 of the air conditioning energy costs could therefore be saved in the base case analyzed above. 5 . CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Solid-state phase-change materials have been shown to be potentially useful as constituents in heat storing building components. The crystalline transfor- mation temperature at which most of the heat is absorbed can be selected any- where over a wide range of values that includes temperatures suitable for cooling as well as heating. Parametric analyses of building energy performance suggest that the use of phase-change thermal energy storage materials can improve energy efficiency and/or reduce the costs of heating or cooling. More systematic analyses are needed to identify cost optimized designs for PCM thermal storage use in various types of buildings. More research and development are required to perfect the thermal storage components which now exist only as laboratory scale test specimens. 6 .
