<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Dear All, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I am trying to use phase change materials, phase change plasterboard, via the active components. I am using a melting temperature of 26°C and a solidification temperature of 27°C. I am not sure about the solidification
temperature and I would like to know if some of you can advise on this. I am trying to have the PCM exposed, so I always position it on the internal layer as I suppose when the software asks for the position it starts counting the existing layers from the
exterior. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">However I try, I can’t see any substantial reduction in the indoor temperature during a hot summer month. Can any of you give some advice on how to reduce the indoor temperature further by changing the parameters?
