PROTOTYPE OF EVAPORATIVE COOLING PANEL BY USING MOISTURE PERMEABLE WATERPROOF MEMBRANE AND VERIFICATION OF HEAT MITIGATION EFFECTS BY OUTDOOR EXPERIMENTS

As an adaptation measure to hot environments, this study proposes a cooling method that stores water inside moisture permeable waterproof designed in bag shape and promotes evaporation from its surface. In study, panel made of membrane was set under tent, experiments were conducted verify heat mitigation effects. On sunny day summer, it found the surface temperature decreased by about 7 degrees due evaporation, glove tent 0.5 degrees.
