Improving the thermal performance of windows is important for building energy efficiency. Filling windows with variable transparency shape-stabilized phase change materials (VTSS-PCM) improves the thermal inertia of windows while avoiding the leakage of PCM. In this paper, a new type of VTSS-PCM window was proposed, tested, simulated and optimized in hot summer and cold winter climate zone. A numerical model of the VTSS-PCM window was built, and the model was validated using experimental tests. On this basis, three key parameters of VTSS-PCM were investigated and optimized. Finally, the energy and economic performance of the optimized VTSS-PCM window were compared with a typical hollow glass window. The results showed that the total annual unfavourable heat transfer (TAHT) and the annual investment cost (AIC) of the VTSS-PCM window obtained from the optimization were 118.16 kWh/m2 and 8.53 CNY/m2, respectively. Compared with the hollow glass window, the VTSS-PCM window reduced the TAHT by 30.14% and the total annual cost by 28.39%. The VTSS-PCM window produced a better development potential in terms of energy performance and economic performance. This study provided a reference for the application of the VTSS-PCM window in hot summer and cold winter regions of China.
