        abstract = {This study presents an experimental 
investigation into the thermal performance of 
Porotherm walls incorporating organic Phase Change 
Materials (PCMs), heat transfer characteristics were 
evaluated under different temperature conditions, with 
and without plywood insulation. Results indicate that 
the Porotherm wall with Palm Wax and plywood 
insulation achieved the highest temperature drop 
(9.22% more than plain porotherm wall), followed by 
the wall with Soy wax with plywood insulation 
achieved 7.54% more than plain porotherm wall. Palm 
Wax demonstrated superior thermal regulation due to 
its 
higher latent heat capacity, while plywood 
insulation further improved thermal resistance. This 
experimental investigation confirms the effectiveness 
of 
PCM-integrated Porotherm walls in reducing 
indoor temperature fluctuations and minimizing 
energy consumption. Future research should explore 
optimized PCM thickness and alternative insulation 
methods to enhance energy efficiency in sustainable 
building applications.},
