Description

In our first ever episode of the building science podcast, Kristof &
Michael introduce a wild product that could change how your home can
passively handle heat loads. A phase change material (PCM) is a substance
with a high heat of fusion which, melting and solidifying at a certain
temperature, is capable of storing and releasing large amounts of energy.
Heat is absorbed or released when the material changes from solid to liquid
and vice versa; thus, PCMs are classified as latent heat storage (LHS)
units.

Join us as we begin this wild adventure with very little knowledge of how
to make a podcast. We hope it goes well and that you enjoy!
