This project ains to construct a DIY cooler box with a plastic container, aluminium heat sink, aquarium water chiller, CPU cooling fans, temperature sensor, and six pieces of Bismuth Telluride Peltier Cell TEC12715, with the application of Peltier Effect. In line with SDG 13 (Climate Action) set by United Nations, this cooler box is powered by Peltier Cells that does not pollute the environment, does not contribute to global warming, does not require refrigerant liquids or compressor motors like conventional refrigerators, and is easy to build, user-friendly, durable, and affordable for most consumers. From the five sets of experimental studies conducted, the temperature of DIY Cooler Box dropped with the rate of 1.28 °C per minute when 10.41 volts and 5.19 amperes is applied to a piece of Peltier Cell TEC12715. The DIY Cooler Box consumes minimal electrical power of only 165.81 watts, compared to 300–800 watts for a conventional domestic refrigerator , meaning it is significantly more energy-efficient.
