Abstract

A greater knowledge of the intrinsic unpredictability of the Earth’s climate system and its expected response to natural and human factors is being provided by scientific advances and improved climate change observation. The way that the Earth system reacts to changes in radiative forcings will determine how climate change affects the environment and civilization. It will also rely on how humanity adapts via changes in economics, technology, policy, and lifestyle. Future scenarios must be used to examine the possible outcomes of various response options since there are a lot of uncertainty regarding the forces and reactions to climate change in the future. According to this study, phase change material (PCM) has the ability to hold heat at a steady temperature, which helps to lower the energy usage of buildings. This is a PCM board that has been made to store heat in order to lower the power required for temperature regulation, the PCM boards were used as the floor in the real-scale office. This resulted in lower energy usage by eighteen and twenty percentages in the winter. To assess long-term performance, experimental data verify a numerical model. The findings of the simulation and experiment show that a high-performance PCM floor may effectively reduce the amount of electricity used for heating and cooling.
