The aim of this work is to study the combined insertion effect of Phase Change Materials (PCM) and thermal insulation within a partition wall separating a conditioned room from an adjacent local which is under a periodic thermal activity. This is done by a comparative study with a reference wall under the same thermal conditions. The comparison criterion is the energy density transmitted to the local conditioned in established regime. The results show that the inclusion of thermal insulation and phase change material provides a significant reduction of energy consumption of the conditioned local; thereby a judicious choice of phase change material with thermal level and range melting temperature reduces further this reduction.
