Japan's 'human fridge' promises relief as extreme heat tops 40°c
Japan has introduced the "Do Hiemon", also known as the "human fridge", a personal cooling booth designed to provide rapid relief during extreme heat.

We also look at its operating cost, energy efficiency, and why it is being considered for warehouses, factories, and even public spaces during severe heatwaves.
