Özet:    Research was conducted to investigate the performance of phase change material (PCM) walls for solar space heating. The PCM walls were consisted of brick walls, plasterboards containing PCMs and novel triple glazing units. South façade of a test room was constructed using the PCM walls for heating the test room with solar thermal energy. The overall efficiency of the PCM walls was experimentally determined on a monthly basis. In addition to experimental analysis, a theoretical energy analysis of the PCM walls based on 10-year mean meteorological data was performed to provide a more general conclusion about the performances of the PCM walls. Besides, reduction in CO2 from the test room owing to PCM wall was also calculated. Theoretical analysis results showed that, the reduction of CO2 emission on a monthly basis varied from 57 to 7% during the heating period.  Heating period is from October through May. Reduction of CO2 emission was 16% on an annual basis.
