In the scope of the ambitious EU goals of carbon neutrality in 2050, building energy efficiency is one of the crucial segments. To ensure a faster energy transition process, innovations are needed at various built environment-related sectors - starting from building components up to urban level energy management advancements. Phase change material (PCM) enriched building components allow to shift the existing paradigm - to make a switch from the static building components to dynamic ones able to take an active part in building energy balance by ensuring energy storage in the building thermal envelope. The data set presented here supports the paper "Laboratory Testing of Small Scale Solar Facade Module with Phase Change Material and Adjustable Insulation Layer". The design of the façade module, experimental setup, used equipment, the plan of the experiment, and obtained results are described in the paper. The provided data set provides heat-flux and average temperature (in PCM) measurements.
