Abstract
The building sector, which is the primary user of material and energy resources, necessitates the implementation of energy-saving measures and the use of thermally efficient materials. Severe heat waves necessitate a significant level of electricity usage in order to maintain suitable thermal comfort. The current situation poses an economic burden and hinders the progress of sustainable development unless viable alternative solutions are devised. Hence, thermal energy storage systems are considered a viable choice for the effective and environmentally friendly integration of energy in building design. The objective of this study was to examine the customized thermal mass and heat comfort considerations related to recently developed phase change materials (PCMs) known as local paraffin derived from petroleum. These PCMs were evaluated for their prospective application as thermal energy storage (TES) systems in the specific context of Iraq.
