A numerical study on the effect of phase-change material (PCM) parameters on the thermal performance of lightweight building walls

In recent years, lightweight buildings have been widely developed due to their sustainability advantages. However, lightweight buildings usually have sizeable indoor temperature fluctuations due to lower thermal mass. Phase change materials (PCM) have the characteristics of small temperature change...
