A real scale model was established and investigated numerically using a Fluent software package. The effective enthalpy method was used to deal with the phase change process. It was found that the storage system can store 102.4 kW ·h of heat within 9.2 h and continuously heat a low energy building for 11.1 h, meeting the heat demand of the building at night. This illustrated that an air source heat pump, coupled with the heat storage tank containing the PCM could achieve a large span of intermittent heating. Key words: phase change energy storage; ef
