As increased of the occupancy time, the thermal comfort of the occupants has been an important responsibility. Furniture having a large proportion of indoor space can affect the comfort of occupants. As the function of furniture is gradually expanded, research on thermal comfort and energy increase is being actively conducted. In this study, a phase change material (PCM) with excellent thermal energy storage capacity was applied to expand the thermal performance of furniture. PCM was integrated into the wood board through vacuum impregnation and showed latent heat and heat storage performance. Through the LPM finish, the possibility of PCM leakage of PCM/wood board was reduced, and it showed high stability in the heating-cooling cycle. PCM/wood board applied with LPM finishing treatment has high utility for furniture materials. It suggests the possibility of improving the thermal comfort of occupants when applied indoors.
