2 this matter unexpectedly consider as serious matter or problem that being overlook
by many expertise around the world.
As has been noted, the rain and humid weather season could lead into uncomfortable environment by indoors laundry drying that prompt to be serious
healthy issue. A study carried out by the Mackintosh School of Architecture, found that many homes had too much moisture indoors and up to 30 per cent of this was
caused by laundry. The researchers said three-quarters of homes surveyed had moisture levels that could lead to dust mite growth and were at risk of increased
concentration of mould spores. This reduction in air quality has been tied to asthma and other allergic conditions. Bates, 2012
1.1 Problem Statement
In densely built urban areas in the humid tropics, drying of clothes is becoming a problematic household chore. In most high rise flats, it is a very time
consuming operation because of the year round humid climate, limited sun rays and restricted air flow. Furthermore, in the humid tropics, solar radiation, when available,
is mostly of the diffuse type and, hence, less effective for drying purposes. Even if natural drying of clothes were practical, its use would not be acceptable generally
and even more so in relatively affluent private housing and condominiums due to aesthetic reasons as well. The use of a conventional domestic electrical dryer is a
practical but expensive solution for clothes drying, as it is inherently an energy intensive process. Hence, a search for a low cost solution of drying clothes for such
cases is quite relevant and more so in the context of the global concern for energy conservation and protection of the environment. Ahmadul Ameen, 2004

1.2 Objective To ensure that this project achieves the purpose of paper studies and meet the goal,
the objectives of this project is defines as below: a To design and develop a wardrobe for drying a clothes which is embedded with
smart door water sensor that is fully functioning. b To fabricate a completed prototype of smart drying for clothes that implements
the ideal system for consumer. c To studies and examine the effectiveness on system and overall mechanisms.
1.3 Scope The scope is set as a border of this project to clarify the area of a study that would be
cover in this report and which is not. The limitation of this report is included as: a Design and develop a system of smart drying for clothes which provide the
system enhancement based on studies range. b Examine the smart drying for clothes effectiveness in terms of system
functionality and endurance. c To suggest an idea for further implementation on overall system and mechanism.
