Our project is dedicated to developing protective wearables to combat future environmental conditions and climate events, proposing a sustainable living style. Our current project focuses on a cooling additive for construction safety hats, which provides a practical solution to keep temperatures down for workers in adverse site conditions exacerbated by global warming. This directly addresses the sustainability challenge of ensuring worker health and productivity in the face of rising temperatures in the built environment.

We are a group of passionate undergraduates interested in designing a cooling accessory
that is tailor-made for the construction site. We hope to promote a better working
lifestyle for the 580,000 construction workers in HK under global warming, as well as
address awareness about outdoor labour safety.

This project combats global warming with ergonomics studies, aerodynamics and
electronics engineering. We also plan to integrate the accessory with thermal sensors and
IoT systems.
