10 key principles for successful solar air conditioning design - A compendium of IEA SHC Task 48 experiences

摘要

The results of past and ongoing activities, in successive IEA SHC (solar heating and cooling) Tasks, suggest enormous potential for solar cooling technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, solar thermal cooling still faces barriers to emerge as an economically competitive solution. IEA SHC Task 48 was introduced to gather learnings from existing installations, and to find technological and market solutions, which could enable industry to deliver solar thermal driven heating and cooling systems that are efficient, reliable and cost competitive.
