AB  - In order to meet the great demand for green grain storage and low carbon 
      emissions, paraffin, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and expanded graphite (EG) 
      were used to produce shape-stabilized phase change material (SSPCM) plates, which 
      were then used to reconstruct building walls for existing granaries. A new type 
      of SSPCM plate was then prefabricated with different thermal conductivities and a 
      high latent heat. This plate could be directly adhered to the existing granary 
      walls. In order to evaluate the thermal regulation performance of these phase 
      change granary walls, experiments and numerical methods were established, 
      specifically for the summer condition. The thermal behavior of the SSPCM granary 
      wall was compared with that of the common concrete granary wall to obtain the 
      optimal parameters. It was concluded that increasing the thickness of the SSPCM 
      layer can reduce the temperature rise of the wall. However, the maximum latent 
      heat utilization rate and energy storage effects were obtained when the SSPCM 
      thickness was at an intermediate level of 30 mm. The thermal conductivity of the 
      SSPCM had a controversial effect on the thermal resistance and latent heat 
      utilization behaviors of the SSPCM. Considering the temperature level and energy 
      saving rate, a 30 mm thick SSPCM plate with a thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/m.K 
      provided a superior performance. When compared to the common wall, the optimized 
      energy-saving rate was greatly enhanced by 35.83% for the SSPCM granary wall with 
      a thickness of 30 mm and a thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/m.K.
