Smart PCM-Assisted Cooling Vest for Outdoor Workers in Hot Climates (KSA)

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

A smart PCM-assisted cooling vest is developed to reduce heat stress for outdoor workers in hot climates in Saudi Arabia. The system combines passive cooling using phase change materials (PCM), active liquid circulation, embedded sensing, and wireless monitoring. It is designed to improve worker comfort, reduce thermal strain, and provide supervisors with real-time visibility of worker condition and vest status.
