Abstract
This lecture explores the integration of Phase Change Materials (PCM) and sustainable roof/walls designs to enhance thermal comfort and energy efficiency in buildings within hot arid regions. It further examines how interdisciplinary engineering approaches — combining thermal, electrical, and structural perspectives — can drive the development of resilient energy infrastructure.
