Description
On October 25 at 2PM GMT/UTC and October 27 at 6AM GMT/UTC, ISES is pleased to welcome the IEA SHC Solar Academy presenting this webinar on Task 65 on Solar Cooling for the Sunbelt Regions.

In 2016, air-conditioning accounted for nearly 20% of the total electricity demand in buildings worldwide and is growing faster than any other energy consumption in buildings. The main share of the projected growth in energy use for space cooling comes from emerging economies and will more than triple by 2050 to 6,000 TWh/a. Therefore, the IEA SHC Task 65 “Solar Cooling for the Sunbelt Regions”, started in July 2020, is focusing on innovations for affordable, safe, and reliable Solar Cooling systems for the Sunbelt regions. The innovation is the adaptation of existing concepts/technologies to the Sunbelt regions using solar energy, either solar thermal or solar PV. Solar cooling will therefore play an important role in the decarbonization of the cooling sector using natural refrigerants, e.g. with hybrid system solutions of all kinds coming onto the market.

The webinar will give an overview of the market and technology development (Prof. Dr. Uli Jakob, JER/Green Chiller) and reports first insights from the analysis of boundary conditions and potentials for solar cooling systems within the Sunbelt region based on geographical data (Richard Gurtner, ZAE Bayern) as well as the assessment and benchmarking of solar cooling systems in general (Dr. Daniel Neyer, Neyer Brainworks).

The webinar will be moderated by Bärbel Epp of of the German consultancy solrico.

The webinar is organized by the Solar Academy of the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Program and hosted by ISES, the International Solar Energy Society. The recordings of the webinars as well as the presentations given will be made available after the webinars.

Register for the webinar on October 25 at 2 PM GMT/UTC here.

Q/A Session: The 90-minute webinar will include a 30 minutes Q/A session and a recording of the webinar will be available online afterward. The webinar is organized by the Solar Academy of the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Program and hosted by ISES, the International Solar Energy Society.

Special announcement - Webinar re-run on 27 October 2022 at 6 AM GMT/UTC

ISES and the IEA SHC Solar Academy are happy to announce that this webinar will be broadcasted again on 27 October 2022 at 6 AM GMT/UTC to accommodate our global audience, especially from Australia and Asia. The broadcast webinar will then be followed by a live Q/A with the webinar speakers.
