Abstract
Malaysia's construction industry has risen to become one of the country's fastest-growing industries. Green building is becoming more popular to increase the use of sustainable products in the construction industry. The focus of this innovation project is on thermal comfort in student accommodation. Problems such as thermal discomfort could indeed arise, causing stress and irritation. As a result, an innovation concept known as Porous Ceramic Roof Insulation is created as a solution to the problems identified. The report’s objectives are to identify current issues and problems with roof insulation, to propose an innovative idea for improving roof insulation in student accommodation, and to suggest the potential marketability of the proposed innovation product. The method used for the development of this innovation idea included a literature review on relevant topics related to Porous Ceramic Roof Insulation to accomplish the objectives. A simulation approach is used to run and validate the findings of the innovation idea. Based on the data gathered, a comparative analysis is performed, with the findings resulting in comparisons between existing roof insulation and Porous Ceramic Roof Insulation. Furthermore, based on previous research, Porous Ceramic Roof Insulation has the potential to be marketed to potential users. It is hoped that the Porous Ceramic Roof Insulation innovation would improve the building's wellbeing while also increasing thermal comfort.
