Review of thermal performance testing and evaluation for phase change materials applied to buildings

Reviews the thermal performance testing methods of phase change materials for buildings. Based on the conventional thermal analysis method, summarizes the thermal performance testing devices and their testing principles of phase change energy storage components. Presents the phase change testing benches at home and abroad, and compares different thermal performance testing methods combined with relevant standards. Based on different testing methods, combined with the measurement in actual environment, reviews the existing domestic and international evaluation indexes for measuring the effect of phase change materials applied to buildings.
