BioPCM™

Save Energy --- Save Lives 

Buildings consume more energy than any other sector of the U.S. economy including transportation and industry. Buildings together use one-third of all the energy consumed in the U.S., and two-thirds of all electricity. During 2006 alone, America's residential and commercial structures used over 33 quadrillion Btu’s of energy with over half consumed for heating and cooling. In addition, heating and cooling of buildings is a leading contributor of greenhouse gas emissions releasing over 1.2 trillion pounds of CO² into the atmosphere each year. In fact, over 53% of all direct CO² emissions per household are released due to heating and cooling of homes. To address these concerns, Phase Change Energy Solutions offers simple, economical and environmental friendly solutions which dramatically reduce heating/cooling energy use.

BioPCM™is formulated around a fundamental property of nature - the natural tendency of materials to absorb heat when they melt (phase change from solid to liquid) and to release heat when they solidify (phase change from liquid to solid). When phase change materials are placed in a building, they absorb heat during the day and release heat into the building at night. BioPCM™ dramatically reduces temperature fluctuation within the building and thereby reduces HVAC demand.  

SAVE ENERGY 

BioPCM™ is easily integrated into existing designs. The addition of BioPCM™mats into an existing plan may yield up to 30% energy savings.  In the exterior walls, 16” wide BioPCM™ is simply stapled to the studs over the standard insulation. Additional 24” wide BioPCM™ is placed over the sheet rock in the attic before insulation is applied. The product can be easily trimmed around wall outlets and fixtures with scissors or a utility knife. 

BioPCM™ has a thermal storage capacity of 209 joules per gram, or 198 BTU per kg. We offer three weights: .56lbs per sq. ft.; 1 lbs per sq. ft; 2 lbs per sq. ft.  We can blend just about any phase transition temperature desired,

SAVE LIVES 

BioPCM™ also dramatically increases the fire resistance of a structure. The bio-based fire suppressant will extinguish or greatly reduce the intensity of fire. Our proprietary blend of PCM fire suppressant won the highest environmental product award issued by the European Union. It is 100% Non Toxic, Bio- Degradable and Sustainable.

 A TOTAL GREEN SOLUTION 

BioPCM™ allows consumers to integrate these PCMs into new and existing buildings. Use of BioPCM™ will dramatically reduce energy consumption and lower direct greenhouse emissions.

Phase Change Energy Solutions' products are environmentally friendly and increase the fire safety of a structure. They Save Energy and they Save Lives. They are inexpensive to implement, save energy and greatly reduce the direct emission of greenhouses gases.
