Thermal performance of a PCM-filled double-glazing unit with different thermophysical parameters of PCM

•Thermal performance of phase change material (PCM) double-glazing units was investigated.•Thermophysical parameters of PCM play an important role in thermal performance.•Increasing density, latent heat, and melting temperature of PCM is an effective method.•Melting temperature of 297–299K is recomm...
