IEA SHC Task 66: Solar Energy Buildings – Presentation of final results
IEA SHC Task 66 “Solar Energy Buildings” presented the final results of their activities at the EuroSun Conference 2024 in Limassol, Cyprus, on Tuesday, 27 August, from 11:00 to 12:30 EEST. Over three years, an international team of scientists and industry representatives collaborated on the topic “Solar Energy Buildings.” The event featured presentations by the task manager, subtask leaders, and an industry representative. Dr. Harald Drück, Manager of Task 66 from the University of Stuttgart’s IGTE, provided an overview of the project and highlighted key achievements. Subtask leaders shared summaries of their findings: Prof. Frank Späte (OTH-AW, Germany) discussed key performance indicators for assessing solar energy buildings, while Elsabet Nielsen (Technical University of Denmark) showcased demonstration projects of completed solar energy buildings. Michael Gumhalter (AEE INTEC, Austria) explored current and future technologies in the field. Additionally, Zanil Narsing from Naked Energy Ltd. (UK) presented on "Solar Energy Buildings with Advanced Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) Collectors." More details on Task 66 are available on their website: https://task66.iea-shc.org/.

Fact sheets for Solar Energy Building technologies
Fact sheets for technologies in the field of solar energy buildings were developed as part of IEA SHC Task 66 Subtask D to provide concise, easily accessible summaries of key solar technologies, helping stakeholders make informed decisions. They include information on advancements, comparisons, and suitability for different climates, building types, and regional requirements. Categorized into areas such as generation, storage, buildings, and grids, the fact sheets highlight integration strategies for effective solar energy systems. By referencing scientific publications and showcasing practical examples, they demonstrate the functionality and characteristics of selected technologies.

Solar process heat system for Seville brewery
The solar process heating plant was built in 2023 by Azteq/Solarlite, is operated by ENGIE Spain and supplies heat to the Heineken Sevilla brewery. In addition to the parabolic trough solar area of 43,000 m² (30 MW thermal output), high-temperature storage tanks (8 x 200 m³) ensure a high solar share of 60-70%.

Combination of Methods used by TCP-Activities
A set of methods was developed to categorize the kind of project work that is done in the activities. The figure shows which methods are applied how often in total (node size), and which methods were frequently applied together (edge width) by activities. The color corresponds to the different method cate-gories described in chapter.
