Abstract: The introduction of paraffin phase change materials in the glass envelope has significant heat storage and heat release capabilities, which can effectively adjust the indoor thermal environment and reduce the energy consumption of the building, and the introduction of transparent paraffin beads can solve the technical bottlenecks of traditional filled paraffin materials such as leakage, uneven melting and poor stability The indoor temperature of the paraffin bead glass envelope is about 1 °C higher than that of the other two particle sizes, and the carbon emissions of related buildings have the largest reduction, which are 901.665, 352.784 and 592.208 tCO2e lower than those containing 4 mm, 6 mm and 10 mm particle sizes, respectively, which has a better effect on temperature maintenance and energy conservation and emission reduction.
