Abstract: Hybrid systems combined with passive techniques, energy production and storage techniques can highly help create comfortable indoor environments at the lowest energy cost and with a very low impact on the environment. To do so, the building design and operation should be anticipated within a holistic approach and optimal management process. In particular, when dealing with Phase Change Materials (PCMs) as thermal Energy storage (TES), the holistic approach becomes essential in order to correlate energy production and consumption of the building. This keynote summarizes the numerical and experimental work performed at ENTPE-LTDS laboratory during 10 years in order to design and numerically and experimentally characterize innovative prototypes aiming optimally to integrate a large panel of PCMs ( 6°C to 45 °C) based TES to different part of building and the systemic and holistic approach adopted.
Biograhy: EL MANKIBI Mohamed is a Research Director/Professor at ENTPE/university of Lyon (France) member of LTDS Laboratory (CNRS UMR5513). He has a PhD degree (Hybrid Ventilation control strategies design and assessment), the accreditation to direct and manage research and qualified as international expert by the French Ministry of Ecological Transition. He is the manager and Supervisor of building-related courses of ENTPE and Co-creator and Co-manager of several Master degrees related to “Green Building”. Highly evolved in Green and Low Impact Buildings design and optimization programs, 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 multi-objective optimization of HVAC systems and renewable energy while studying occupants behavior integration . El Mankibi 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. He has been invited as professor/researcher by the University of Colorado at Boulder, Concordia University of Montreal, Hunan university and Green Energy Park (Morocco) as well as Rabat School of Mines.
