Abstract

The climate in Malaysia is humid throughout the year. The average daily temperature in Malaysia is between 21°C to 32°C. Typically, winds from the Indian Ocean (Southwest Monsoon, May to September) and the South China Sea impact Malaysia's climate (North-Eastern Monson - November to March). It receives around 80 percent of its annual precipitation, which varies from 2000 to 2500 millimetres. According to the Malaysian Meteorological Department, Malaysia has been experiencing the south-west monsoon, which has resulted in a hot and dry climate between July and mid-September, with temperatures reaching 35°C to 40°C Malay mail (2021, July 21). Frequently occurring natural disasters in Malaysia are flash floods caused by heavy rainfall. According to the Agensi Pengurusan Bencana (NADMA) of Peninsular Malaysia, 33 districts in eight states have been impacted by flooding (Perak, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang). During a natural catastrophe, hundreds of roads and highways remain closed, resulting in unplanned Water and power outages. In neighbourhoods with low-cost, residents in single-story connected residences are unable to shift themmelves and their possessiom to the upper floors, so aggravating the issue. There have been medical evacuations due to a lack of food, water, electricity, and medicine for the elderly and other chronically ill individuals. Using a boat, Fire Rescue and Malaysia Civil Department are assisting in the relocation of refunge to a new shelter. Heavy rain that occurs in Malaysia from September to December will cause flash floods in Malaysia. Besides that, landslide also occur during a heavy rain in a certain location. Many people losing their family member and properties such as house during the natural disaster phenomenon. Generally, the victim shelted at the high building such as school or commmunity hall that far away &om the natural disaster. We can use the waste of sugarcane fiber combine with polyester Aluminum Honeycomb Panel to produce a cheaper shelter for teh victim or natural disaster instead of placing them together with crowded people in the community hall. Sometimes the community hall is closed for land activity such as a sport activity and wedding ceremony. We can create a shelter by using a sugarcane fiber and polyested Aluminum Honeycomb Panel in open space. The main aim of this research is to elobrate an innovation idea by using a waste sugarcane fiber or natural material to produce a cheaper shelter during natural disaster. To indentify the thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of combination of material polysester aluminium honeycomb panel and sugarcane fiber. 'thermal conductivity Commonly represented by (k) is the intrinsic capacity of a substance to transfer or conduct heat. It is one of three heat transmission techniques, the other two being convection and radiation. This heat transfer mode's rate equation is based on Fourier's law of heat conduction. However, Thermal resistance is defined as the ratio of a material's temperature difference between its two sides to its rate of heat flow per unit area. The thermal resistance of a textile material influences its heat insulation ability. The greater the thermal resistance, the less heat is lost. The samp1e l with 0 with % fiber has the highest number of the thermal conductivity and the lowest number of the thermal resistance. However the sample 6 12 with % of fiber recorded the lowest thermal conductivity and the highest thermal resistance. So that the best sample for produce shelter hot humid is sample 6 because it has the lower thermal Conductivity and the highest thermal resistance.
