O/EG composite PCM was simulated under the SSP5-8.5 future climate scenario. A multidimensional framework
including Indoor Overheating Degree (IOD)
Overheating Exceedance Factor (OEF)
and "equivalent virtual energy storage capacity
" was established to evaluate performance. Results indicate that the PCM wall reduced peak indoor temperature by 1.31°C and delayed the peak by 5 hours. It significantly enhanced environmental resilience by lowering IOD and OEF by 66.33% and 65.57%
respectively. Functioning as a "distributed thermal-side virtual battery
" the PCM layer provided 0.09 kWh/m
