4.  Be able to understand how Phase Change Materials (PCMs) improve energy efficiency in our existing buildings and future construction projects, helping to minimise global environmental issues Crossword Solution:

5. Phase Change Materials, commonly referred to as PCMs, are products that store, release or absorb heat (Thermal Energy) as they oscillate between solid and liquid form. Giving off heat as they change to a solid state and absorbing it as they return to a liquid state (Melting/Freezing).

6. Interestingly, the simplest, cheapest and most effective Phase Change Material is water/ice. Unfortunately, its freezing point of +32°F precludes it from the majority of energy storage applications.32°F
