Abstract: This study investigated the thermal resistant performance of wall panel (Heat Resistant Wall Panel) with embedded PVC pipe and water flowing in it. The flowing water concept that was applied in this study is regulated from rainwater harvesting system. This is to minimize the electricity and water bills while reducing the indoor building temperature. By observing the results, it shows that the internal surface temperature of the heat resistant wall panel is 3C lower than conventional building wall. In addition, a comparative analysis of energy saving costs has been calculated to identify energy efficiency for typical building with air-conditioning system and typical building with the Heat Resistant Wall Panel which resulted about 33% of cost savings.
