Increasing the Market Implementation of Solar Air-Conditioning Systems for Small and Medium-Sized Appliances in Residential and Commercial Buildings
In most European countries the electricity consumption for air-conditioning is increasing dramatically and it is expected an increasing by a factor of 4 in 2020. Under these conditions the use of solar thermal energy for air-conditioning in buildings has a huge unexploited potential. The objective of SOLAIR was to promote and to strengthen the use and market implementation of small and medium-sized solar air-conditioning (SAC) appliances. Focus was given to the residential and commercial sector, combining domestic hot water supply and space heating with air-conditioning.
