Since energy storage with phase change materials is an effective means of energy saving or conservation in buildings, its investigation and applications have received more and more during the recent years. The research actuality on energy saving of adjustment and control of building indoor temperature was summarized in this paper, and the two types of the major techniques with phase change material applied in adjustment and control of building indoor temperature was reviewed, in which one is the technique combined phase change material with building maintenance structure, the other is the technique to make phase change material applied to heating or air conditioning systems. The future research of phase change energy storage in adjustment and control of building indoor temperature was prospected.

Metasurfaces offer the potential to realize large SWaP (size, weight, and power) reduction over conventional optical elements for their ability to achieve comparable functionalities in ultrathin geometries. Moreover, metasurfaces designed with phase change materials offer the potential to go beyond what is achievable by conventional optics by enabling multiple functionalities in a single reconfigurable meta-device. However, designing a single metasurface geometry that simultaneously achieves multiple desired functionalities while meeting all bandwidth requirements and fabrication constraints is a very challenging problem. Fortunately, this challenge can be overcome by the use of state-of-the-art multi-objective optimization algorithms which are well-suited for the inverse-design of multifunctional meta-devices.
