Thermal energy storage (TES) technology is a promising way to reach low energy consumption and shave electricity needs during peak power periods. In particular, Phase Change Materials (PCMs) have been widely used in TES applications as they offer a high storage density and adequate phase change temperature range. This keynote summarizes the numerical and experimental work performed at ENTPE-LTDS laboratory in order to design and numerically and experimentally characterize innovative prototypes aiming to integrate PCMs based TES to building.
Biography
is a Research Director/professor at ENTPE/university of Lyon (France) member of LTDS Laboratory of Ecole Central of Lyon. He has a PhD degree (Hybrid Ventilation control strategies design and assessment) and the accreditation to direct and manage research. He was the manager and Supervisor of building-related courses of ENTPE and Co-creator and Co-manager of several a Master degrees related to “Green Building” and ‘BIM’. Highly evolved in ENTPE Green and Low Impact Buildings design and optimization program, he has two major fields of research: one is related to the dynamic simulation of thermal and aeraulic phenomena in buildings, the other is related to the development multi-objective optimization. El Mankibi also has spent one year as invited researcher at the University of Colorado at Boulder a well as at Concordia University of Montreal and has been involved in many tasks of the International Energy Agency (ECES and ECBCS programs). He has taken part to several national research projects as coordinator or partner as well as European/International projects. He has developed several original models and experimental devices and initiated and led partnerships with the building industry.
