This study focuses on the preparation, thermal properties of alkanes eutectic mixtures (n-Octadecane/n-Eicosane, n-Octadecane/n-Docosane and n-Heptadecane /n-Eicosane) as candidate phase change material (PCM) for low temperature latent heat storage systems in building envelopes. Their melting temperature and latent heat were tested by Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The testing values were closed to calculation values of accepted theory that ensured the reliability of those datas. The results indicated n-Octadecane/n-Docosane eutectic mixture was more promising PCM for buildings in terms of melting temperature (25.3°C) and latent heat values of melting (158.2J/g).
