Global warming has been a matter of serious concern in recent years, and therefore, there is a need for lower carbon emissions in all human activities. In order to achieve this goal, new technologies are being deve­loped. However, at present, a good amount of energy is being spent to get protection from the summer heat as well as the winter cold using appliances across the globe. Due to poor economic conditions, many people still cannot afford such appliances to live comfortably in these extreme climatic conditions. Additionally, those working directly under the sun during summer may even lose their lives due to sunstroke. Therefore, an easier and cheaper alternative method is described in this study for protection from the summer heat as well as the winter cold.

Abstract


Global warming has been a matter of serious concern in recent years, and therefore, there is a need for lower carbon emissions in all human activities. In order to achieve this goal, new technologies are being deve­loped. However, at present, a good amount of energy is being spent to get protection from the summer heat as well as the winter cold using appliances across the globe. Due to poor economic conditions, many people still cannot afford such appliances to live comfortably in these extreme climatic conditions. Additionally, those working directly under the sun during summer may even lose their lives due to sunstroke. Therefore, an easier and cheaper alternative method is described in this study for protection from the summer heat as well as the winter cold.
