Multi-Objective Screening of Bio-Based Phase Change Materials for Building Envelopes Using Surrogate Models Across Italian Climates

Bio-based phase change materials (PCMs) can increase transient heat storage in lightweight building envelopes, but their performance depends on the climate, transition properties, layer design, and assumptions used to translate thermal loads into carbon and cost indicators. Altho...
