Abstract
A building panel system is provided. The building panel system include a panel structure having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; a mounting system attached to the panel structure; at least one container detachably coupled to the mounting system at one of a plurality of selectable coupling positions so as to be in conductive thermal cooperation with the first surface of the panel structure; and a phase change material contained within the at least one container.

A surface covering system for a building space comprising:
- a support grid defining an occupiable space on a first side of the support grid and a plenum space on an opposing side of the support grid;
- and
- at least one building panel apparatus comprising:
- a building panel having a first surface facing the plenum space and a second surface opposite the first surface;
- and
- a structure housing a phase change material coupled to the panel structure.
