Optimizing Thermal Comfort and Carbon with Phase Change Material (PCM) Ceilings

This course examines how interior building materials can be leveraged to optimize the two primary drivers of occupant dissatisfaction: acoustics and temperature. Participants will explore the integration of phase change material (PCM) into acoustical ceiling systems to create more stable, comfortable indoor environments. The program reviews the fundamentals of thermal mass and the science of PCM technology, demonstrating how these materials act as a thermal buffer to enhance occupant comfort throughout the daily heating and cooling cycle. Additionally, the course highlights how these innovative systems support broader sustainability goals-including operational carbon reduction and LEED certification-and provides an overview of available economic incentives such as the 48E Investment Tax Credit.
