IEA Programme to Develop and Test Solar Heating and Cooling Systems. Task II: Coordination of R and D on Solar Heating and Cooling Components. Annual Progress Report

摘要

The objective of this Task is to increase the effectiveness of the participating countries' R and D activities related to the development of cost-effective components for solar heating, cooling and hot water supply systems. This objective will be accomplished by (1) exchanging information on the details and results of solar system component R and D projects, (2) surveying and reviewing the R and D program plans of the participating countries, (3) encouraging exchange of solar energy research personnel, equipment and materials, and (4) participating in task meetings. The Operating Agent (JAPAN) has distributed a compilation covering 146 component R and D projects from eight of the twelve participating countries. (ERA citation 04:015712)
