In the study, the effect of phase change materials integrated into the building's external wall has been investigated in terms of material type, thickness, and melting temperature of phase change material on the building energy performance for İzmir Province. A villa residential project has been modelled in 3D using DesignBuilder energy simulation software and two different external wall configurations have been designed by changing the position, thickness and melting temperature of the PCMs into the wall. The amount of CO2 emission reductions that PCMs will provide according to the fuel type of the building's heating system has been calculated. Using PCMs in the external wall not only provides high heating and cooling energy savings but also increases thermal comfort indoors by reducing temperature fluctuations. The PCM melting temperature of 23℃ performs quite well compared to other temperatures in both cooling energy and heating energy demand reduction. By increasing the triple thickness of the PCM, 18.81% in heating energy and 22.85% in cooling energy savings can be achieved. Depending on the external wall and phase change material types, different thicknesses and melting temperatures of PCM, annual total energy saving of the phase-change material is calculated between 10,349.50-83,345.98 kJ/m2.year and the annual CO2 emission reduction according to fuel types has been found as 0.672-14.284 kgCO2/m2.year.

In the study, the effects on the building's thermal energy performance of using two different phase change materials (PCMs) integrated into the exterior walls at various thicknesses and melting temperatures have been investigated. Four exterior wall types have been designed by changing the position of PCM integrated into the exterior wall for the purpose to decrease heating and cooling energy demand. For each wall type, three different thicknesses (layers) have been studied and energy savings that PCM provided by decreasing the heating and cooling energy demands have been calculated on a monthly and annual basis. According to the energy simulation analyses, the configuration provided the highest heating energy savings (21.32 %) on an annual basis is the three-layer BioPCM27 integrated exterior wall with a melting temperature of 21 °C. The monthly optimum melting temperatures of PCMs have been determined based on the charge and discharge processes of PCM integrated into the exterior walls by evaluating the results of hourly energy simulation analysis. The annual average optimum melting temperature varies between 18 and 19 °C, depending on the exterior wall and material types. The three-layer (3L) InfiniteRPCM21C configuration (Type 3) has the best thermal energy performance among all exterior wall types, with 24.45 % total energy savings in the cooling season and 14.76 % in the heating season.
