This research project and development have focused on another way to keep the inside
temperature of the car as low as possible versus the outside temperature when parked in
direct sunlight. Upon researching, the researchers found out that high temperature inside
the car is harmful to the vehicle and humans. It led to the development of a project which
covers the windshield and windows of the car to prevent too much heat from entering the
car when parked under the sun. The researchers found that extreme heat inside the car can
damage the car dashboard, some accessories, and the car seat leather. That can burn the
skin and damage to other accessories it is only natural for the driver to turn the car AC on
and the first air that will come out the vent is harmful to human to breathe in. The
researchers tested the materials of the project’s capability and durability when placed in a
different situation and if it does lessen the temperature inside the car. This project tested
for its functionality with the value of 80% proves that it can actually lessen heat inside
the car and its durability when faced with natural weather conditions such the rain and
wind. This project, will not only protect the interior of the car but will also add to the
convenience of the driver and passengers when first entering the vehicle parked in direct
sunlight with a more comfortable inside temperature rather than entering a car that
actually burns.
