Heat-reflective wall panel

Heat-reflective wall panel is a wall panel that has a heat reflection characteristic. The purpose of this study is to produce a new wall panel by using eco-friendly material and reduce the uses of air-conditioning. There are three objectives to achieve in this research which is to identify the issues and problems of the current precast concrete wall, to investigate on how to produce a new wall panel and to suggest the marketing potential of the heat-reflective wall panel. The observation of the issues and problems carried out to generate an idea to produce a new wall panel and to identify the installation of wall panel. In conducting this research, the ideas of the innovation are come from the various types of wall panel that been used in construction industry. The first type is Phase Change Materials (PCM) in Perforated Brick that is a high fusion heat and can store or release a lot of energy during melting and solidifying processes. Next is 3D Printed Metal Brick. This brick is inspired by the Muscatese Evaporative cooling window. It is combines a wood screen, or mashrabiya, and a ceramic vessel filled with water. The third one is called Brick Cavity Wall that they were constructed of a 9–12 cm thick brick veneer, an air gap (the hollow), and an inner leaf that was 9–19 cm thick, made of concrete blocks, perforated big format bricks, or calcium silicate blocks that was completed with an inside plastering. The last one is Fan and Evaporative Cooling System is one of the most often utilized ventilation technologies for animal housing to reduce heat stress produced by consistently high ambient temperatures. Then, with the information got from the readings been using to produce the new wall panel called “Heat-Reflective Wall Panel”. There are three data collection method in this research which is literature review, simulation and data analysis.
