Claim Text:
1. A material for energy management and peak energy reduction in a building structure, comprising: a foam base material a fire resistant material; a first phase change material, the first phase change material disposed within a containment structure and dispersed within the foam base material; and a functional polymeric phase change material dispersed within the foam base material that dynamically absorbs and releases heat to adjust heat transfer at or within a temperature range and having at least one phase change temperature in the range between −10° C. and 100° C. and a phase change enthalpy of at least 5 Joules per gram, the functional polymeric phase change material being hydrophobic, the functional polymeric phase change material including a plurality of polymer chains, the plurality of polymer chains including a backbone chain and a plurality of side chains, wherein a first portion of the plurality of polymer chains are crosslinked to each other, wherein a second portion of the plurality of polymer chains are crosslinked with the containment structure.
