PCM-based technology for building application seems to be promising but at the same time, it is a relatively new area for the research especially in its application in large-scale systems. This chapter provides an overview of PCMs suitable for integration within the building envelope. In that regard, phase change theory, PCM classification and properties are discussed. For passive building design strategies in cases the PCM is integrated within the building envelope, a higher latent heat of fusion of PCM and a lower thermal conductivity are desirable. The chapter provides properties analysis of commercially available material suitable for passive design.
