Solar air conditioning on a southern European island

Publishable report

Members of the project cluster are from Southern European islands where ideal summer conditions make solar cooling a reliable option for sustainable air conditioning.

Solar air conditioning

Solar air conditioning, or "solar-powered air conditioning", refers to any air conditioning (cooling) system that uses solar power. This can be done through passive solar design, solar thermal

Solar Air Conditioning in Europe | SACE | Projekt

Various European research and demonstration activities have advanced the field of solar energy for air conditioning of buildings. The project intends to review the state-of-the

Solar air conditioning in Europe-an overview

The potential energy savings and limitations of solar thermal air conditioning in comparison to conventional technologies are illustrated and discussed.

Recent Developments of Solar Air-Conditioning in Europe

Solar air conditioning, or "solar-powered air conditioning", refers to any air conditioning (cooling) system that uses solar power. This can be done through passive solar design, solar thermal energy conversion, and photovoltaic conversion (sunlight to electricity). The U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 created 2008 through 2012 funding for a new solar air conditioning research and development p
