Buildings are designed for the sole purpose of maintaining conducive living standards for the occupants. Electrical energy consumption varies significantly during the day and night according to the demand by the industrial, commercial and residential activities. PCMs are regarded as a possible solution for reducing the energy consumption of buildings. These are the materials that could store a large amount of energy in the form of latent heat at a constant temperature without any fluctuations or variations in the temperature. Buildings which have large mass will react slowly to changes in heating and cooling demands. This research is done to study the temperature fluctuations at 3 different layers of the model walls (outer face, inner face, intermediate face) throughout the day. The fluctuation of temperature taking 3 different PCMs viz. HS29, HS24 and HS34 are studied. For temperature readings, Arduino Nano processor is used with LM35 temperature sensors connected to the central IC.
