-- running into what I hope to be the final stages in the design of a passive
solar earthbermed residence, I find myself again wondering if imbedding
PCM's (phase change materials) in the slab &/or block wall surface
treatment which will be storing solar energy is a worthwhile idea. Any
comments on actual in-the-field applications of this technology for this
purpose would be EXTREMELY MUCH appreciated. I
have these links already, so don't take the time to send them as it wouldbe
redundant, and this also provides some starting points for anybody else
who's interested in researching this technology: http://www.pcm-solutions.com/phase

-- this one looks quite comprehensive THANKS!!
