Airring for construction workers @ 9th Inno Show
Projects supported by Funding Scheme for student projects/activities by Tam Wing Fan Innovation Fund and Philomathia Foundation Innovation Fund
Supervisor: Prof. Y. ZHOU (Faculty of Architecture)
Project information
Project descriptions
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.
