Abstract

Because of the cost, most traditional village homes have corrugated zinc roofs. Because zinc is a heat-absorbing material, it will cause discomfort. The temperature rises beneath the zinc covering will be proportionate to the quantity of heat provided by sunshine, and this will be worsened if the ventilation is inadequate. The goal of this research is to find a different way to decrease the temperature inside a zinc-covered home. The suggested technique involves the development of water spraying system prototype using low-cost Arduino-Uno sensor. Splattering water over the zinc roofing causing a heat exchange mechanism to occur when the two surfaces come into contact. The zinc heat will be dissipated throughout the process, but the water temperature will rise. The heated water will then fall into a specified cooling tower via gravity. The water temperature will be lowered by the same heat transfer method, which will be recirculated back to the roof by a water pump. The overall system will be controlled by Arduino-Uno temperature and humidity sensor that will detect the high temperature on roof and sends the output to the water pump. Fan will be installed at the cooling tower to aid in the faster cooling of the water. The studies indicate that the system can decrease the temperature of a zinc-covered home and cut cooling costs, making it ideal for Malaysia's low-income rural population.
