ABSTRACT = {The requirement for sustainable development for buildings is to have environmentally friendly cooling and heating systems. The utilization of phase 
change materials (PCM) in the cooling system is a potential solution for minimizing active power requirements as well as for reducing the size of 
components of a vapor compression refrigeration VCR system. A prototype of an Air-PCM (T25™) heat exchanger was fabricated and tested in actual 
environmental conditions. Experimental trials using a salt hydrate as PCM have shown the maximum cooling effect of 2.05 kW when 75% of the PCM 
was solidified. Based on the results, it is found that PCM-based passive cooling has the potential to reduce the size (cooling capacity) of the air 
conditioner (AC) in the range of 13 to 46 %.},
