Researchers in the building industry are becoming increasingly interested in phase change materials (PCM). As these PCMs might provide passive temperature adjustment, this will aid in lowering the energy consumption of Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) devices. To prevent leakage during phase change, an enclosure is needed when installing PCMs in buildings. The need to assess the passive thermal regulation of the PCMs at different melting temperature is necessary, so that we can get a sense of how much energy will be saved for this passive thermal regulation method. Hence, this paper will evaluate and identify the optimum phase change transition temperatures during the whole year for wall composition with tunable PCM in a semi-arid climate. Thus, the main objective of this study is to assess the indoor air temperature fluctuation reduction and the PCM activation while suggesting an appropriate phase change transition temperature that can be beneficial in the whole year and very practical. The results reveal a good passive temperature regulation during the summer period.
