← ScienceWhich constraint dramatically limits a building integrated thermal energy storage material's effectiveness during diurnal cycling?
A)Insufficient heat of fusion✓
B)High thermal conductivity overall
C)Extensive subcooling requirements needed
D)Consistent supercooling conditions only
💡 Explanation
Insufficient heat of fusion limits temperature regulation because available transition energy is too low; the **phase change process** governs energy storage. Therefore, the thermal storage is ineffective, rather than showing high conductivity or specific cooling needs which would instead increase discharge rather than severely limit it.
