Researched application of phase change materials (PCMs) in rooftops of public transport to enhance thermal management and passenger comfort.
Investigated how PCM integration reduces temperature fluctuations inside vehicles, lowering cooling energy demand.
Contributed to sustainable urban transport goals by minimizing energy consumption in public vehicle climate control systems.
Demonstrated that PCM-based rooftops delay interior temperature rises, supporting energy-efficient and comfortable transport environments.
