摘要
Construction workers are often exposed to extreme temperatures and heat stress, which can lead to various health risks and reduced productivity. To address these challenges, smart cooling vests have emerged as a promising solution. These vests integrate advanced technologies to provide effective cooling and improve the comfort and safety of construction workers in hot environments. It explores the key features and functionalities offered by these vests, including active cooling mechanisms, moisture management systems, and ergonomic design. The primary objective of this innovative vest is to evaluate its overall efficacy in terms of effectively regulating body temperature, delivering optimum comfort, and mitigating the hazards associated with heat-related illnesses. By addressing these concerns, we aim to provide a notable progression in the field of smart cooling technology.
