Abstract

Glass curtain wall has received widespread attention because of architectural aesthetics that people persistent pursuit. But using glass curtain wall can bring the sharp increase of building energy consumption. For today's situation of energy scarcity, it is important to find a way to improve energy efficiency. Exploring the energy-saving effect for using phase change material (PCM) in glass curtain wall is the fundamental purpose of this paper. In this paper, the thermoregulation ability and energy-saving efficiency differences between PCM27 using in different building envelopes are studied using simulation methods.
