3rd IEA SHC Task 65 - Austrian National Workshop

8. April 2024
Hotel Europa, Graz, AT

This is the third of three workshops of the IEA SHC Task 65, which takes place at the national level. The purpose of these workshops is to bring together collected Austrian know-how into Task 65 and to reflect the findings of international experts, as well as to test the tools and methods developed.

Content Description

Without further action, global cooling demand, especially in the Sunbelt countries, will triple by 2050. Previous IEA SHC tasks on the topic of solar cooling have brought significant progress in technology and economic efficiency. The knowledge on this has been collected primarily in OECD countries outside the Sunbelt.

The aim of this IEA SHC Task 65 is to adapt the technologies to the boundary conditions of the Sunbelt (hot/humid), to find and evaluate suitable system concepts and to publish and disseminate the advantages accordingly. In addition to system adjustments, the Austrian focus is on life cycle cost-benefit analysis and the further development of previous assessment tools.

Three Austrian National Workshops

In the first national workshop (March 24th, 2021, online), service offered by Foreign Trade Austria with a view to solar cooling in the UAE, ADA and the Austrian Development Bank with a focus on Africa were presented. Austrian companies and institutes also introduced themselves.
In the second national workshop in Innsbruck (March 24th, 2023), 10 companies, including SOLID and Ecotherm, presented and discussed products, implemented projects and other findings that positively support the topic of solar cooling.
In the 2024 national final workshop (April 8th, 2024), the combined technical, ecological, economic life cycle assessment (LCCBA) and the developed LCCBA tool will be presented. Both the method used and the corresponding analyzes and evaluations represent an innovation in the field of solar heating and cooling and renewable energy.

The open discussion with Austrian stakeholders and experts in the three national workshops results in appropriate reviews of the approach and thus the further development of the methods.
