Abstract

For lots of areas in the world, the indoor thermal environment is terrible both in summer and in winter. The thermal environment needs to be improved for both the two seasons. A new type of phase change material (PCM) room is proposed in this paper. That is to lay two different kinds of PCM on room envelopes of different orientations. In this paper, the new PCM room and room without PCM are all built. Experiment is done for the two rooms under actual climate condition. Indoor air temperature, wall internal surface temperatures are measured. Results show that the new type of PCM room can improve indoor thermal environment in summer and winter.
