Liquid cooled cladding system

The use of aluminium composite panel (ACP) as the exterior wall cladding has been proven in reducing the electric energy used to keep the room in a building at a thermal comfort. Indirectly, this component had saved the fossil fuels sources from being burnt to convert it into electricity. Unfortunately, most of ACP cladding that being used in Malaysia contained a flammable or combustible material and there are a lot of manufactured components used in the cladding which produce a large amount of carbon footprints. This innovation project is conducted to innovate the way the exterior wall cladding functioning by using a liquid cooling system. The purpose of this innovation project is to give an alternative to the common non-fire retardant (FR) ACP wall cladding. Instead of using polyethylene (PE) or mineral wool as the inner core layer, this Liquid-Cooled Cladding system (LCCS) will use a liquid to fill up the air cavity of the cladding that made up from a metal. This system is absolutely fire safe and suitable to be used on hostel building. It also aims to provides a better cooling effect compared to the PE core cladding. Lastly, the LCCS is intended to reduce the carbon footprints by using less manufactured components.
