A Smart and Eco-friendly Personal Heating and Cooling system

Climate change has become ineluctable and has tremendous negative effects on the environment. Human thermal comfort has been an important survival matter for mankind since the dawn of humanity. Many heating and cooling devices have been developed but only a few are considered eco-friendly. This paper presents an ecological thermal regulatory portable prototype device named Thermo Pal, Thermo Pal is capable of heating and cooling. Thermo Pal consists of a small bag and a belt that can be attached to any body part. The device was found efficient, small-sized, light weighted, and consumed low power. It is able to provide 1 hour of cooling or 3 hours of heating. A novel conceptual smart automated model is also proposed.
