Extra Form

Area	Chinese Taipei
Year	2025
Award	WINNER
Affiliation	Ming Chi University of Technology
Designer	Chen Yen Tseng, Li Kai Chu
Description(English)	FTCSD Fruit Tree Cooling Device is made of bamboo to collect dew and provide misting for cooling fruit trees. Activated by stepping on a bamboo pole, it reduces heat stress by lowering the ambient temperature using water mist's heat-absorption principle. Manufactured with locally-sourced bamboo in Africa, it reduces installation costs and offers environmental benefits. Accessible in economically challenged areas, it enables more farmers to collectively address climate change challenges.
Description(Native)	自工業革命後，溫室氣體排放量逐年升高，導致全球氣溫上升。高溫氣候除了導致乾旱外，也影響農、漁、牧業甚至影響人的健康。對於果農而言，高溫氣候導致果樹收成下滑也造成果樹熱傷害，加上乾旱讓水需求上升，使得農業用水出現貧乏。 FTCSD以非洲當地的竹材製造，這種天然資源的使用不僅使裝置設置成本大幅降低，還具有環保效益，易於經濟困難地區使用，幫助更多農民共同應對氣候變遷所帶來的挑戰。裝置頂部採用雙層結構，第一層是具有集露功能的竹編細網孔，能在夜晚時有效捕捉露水。而露水則透過第二層的導水功能傳送至內部的儲水盆，為了節約水源並保護環境，儲水盆鋪設有可回收薄。當高溫侵襲時，果農只需踩踏底部的竹竿，FTCSD就會啟動噴霧器進行降溫。透過水霧的汽化作用，該區域的氣溫得以降低，果樹的熱傷害得以有效減少。 透過該裝置，能夠達到以下兩點成效 1.果樹降溫裝置是為果農提供區域性降溫，降低果樹熱傷害，透過露水收集水源，再透過機構裝置噴灑水霧，利用水霧的汽化作用，降低該區域的氣溫，減少果樹熱傷害。 2.以非洲當地竹材製作，降低成本以及達到環保效益。使用收集的露水進行噴灑水霧，降低果園氣溫，使果樹有良好的生長。
Positive Comments
Judging Comments	FTCSD uses bamboo to collect dew and release cooling mist, lowering heat stress on fruit trees through water’s natural heat absorption. Locally produced in Africa, it reduces costs, supports farmers, and promotes sustainable agriculture. It was praised for its low-tech yet highly effective solution that merges ecological design with social impact, empowering communities to adapt to climate change.
