A vehicle body panel structure comprises an outer panel, an inner panel facing the outer panel, and a trim of a cabin interior. In the vehicle body panel structure, at least one surface of a back surface of the outer panel, both surfaces of the inner panel, and a surface of the trim facing the outer panel has both functions of heat insulation and heat dissipation by partially providing a heat insulation section to insulate heat for the at least one surface.

Vehicle body panel structure

A reflecting surface material for a vehicle interior, including multiple units of reflecting material each having a surface defined by a concave cross-sectional profile with at least one light reflecting face formed in one sector of the profile and at least one light absorbing face formed in another sector of the profile. A plurality of units of reflecting material are positioned such that the light reflecting faces are disposed in one direction toward the exterior of the vehicle and the light absorbing faces are disposed in another direction toward the driver of the vehicle.

Reflecting surface material

A vehicle body structure has a heat radiation insulating arrangement that improves the thermal environment inside a vehicle cabin when the vehicle is positioned at a sunny location during hot weather by increasing the insulation effects of the automobile body along with blocking radiant heat. The heat radiation insulating arrangement of vehicle body structure forms a first space by arranging a light shielding shade on the inside of a windowpane, a second space formed between the exterior roof panel and ceiling material, and an air passageway that links the first space and the second space to allow the air to flow from the first space to the second space. A reflective material is provided on the surface of the second space of the ceiling material.

Vehicle body structure with heat radiation insulating arrangement

A low-emission skin material of the present invention comprises a decorative layer made of a fibrous substance comprising 60% by weight or more of bright fiber based on the total weight of the fibrous substance; a reflective layer laminated to the decorative layer and capable of reflecting visible radiation, near-infrared radiation, mid-infrared radiation and far-infrared radiation; and a support layer laminated to the reflective layer to support the reflective layer.

Low-emission skin material

A heat radiating structure of an interior member is provided with a heat radiating portion adapted to be applied to a vehicle and disposed on a rear surface of an interior member whose surface is adapted to be applied with external energy, a heat receiving and radiating portion connected to a vehicle body of the vehicle, and a reflecting member allowing heat radiation, radiating from the heat radiating portion to an inside of the interior member, to be reflected and propagated to the heat receiving and radiating portion. The reflecting member cooperates with the heat radiating portion and the heat receiving and radiating portion to define a closed space.

A vehicle air conditioning control system includes an actuator for controlling the position of an outside air intake door and an ambient exhaust gas sensor. A controller of the control system monitors a time rate of change of the degree of uncleanness periodically measured on the basis of the output of the sensor, and commands the actuator to bring the intake door to the fully closed position for the inside air recirculation mode if a first requirement about a previous exhaust gas concentration change and a second requirement about a current exhaust gas concentration change are both met.
