Cooling Umbrella / Siti Khadijah Sunarno, Zuhainy Ahmad Zhaki ... [et al.]

After initial observation towards the existing basic umbrella, the team had chosen a product that we believe can contribute to the Asian country especially Malaysian community. Our product is Cooling Umbrella. Nowadays, Malaysia weather is hot and sunny for much of the year. Recently, we were experiencing hot weather up to 36 degrees Celsius. Hot weather will create physical pressure on the health of a person. It could lead to a fatal heat stroke. The hot and dry weather not only brings negative effects to the ecosystem, but also human health. Despite what is the weather, we have to go out to live our usual life. We still have to face the problem and deal with it. This product can be a solution for it especially for people who have to walk in a long distance under the hot sun. Basically, umbrella is designed to protect a person against rain or sunlight. However, with our new technology, we had implemented some unique features to the improved the usage of umbrella.
