“…In another study, Mortadi and Fadar (Mortadi and El Fadar 2022a) investigated solar cooling system powered by different solar collectors for air-conditioning application in a residential building: flat plate collector, evacuated-tube collector, compound parabolic collector, parabolic trough collector, PVT collector and a new configuration of concentrating PVT collector. The proposed concentrating PVT collector performed the best for absorption cooling system with a solar coefficient of performance of 0.449, 0.428 and 0.414 in Marrakesh, Barcelona and Oslo (not included in Sunbelt region) cities, characterized by hot arid, warm temperate and boreal climates.…”

This document is the final report on activity A4 “Building and process optimization” of the IEA SHC Task 65 “Solar Cooling for the Sunbelt regions”. It presents an overview on the relevance of building and process optimization..Several ongoing and completed projects are introduced and results are depicted. In particular, information about completed and running research projects are presented in order to quantify the amount of energy used for cooling systems. Furthermore, main projects related to the IEA EBC (Buildings and Communities Programme) about cooling systems are reported.

This paper presents the results of the activities related to the subtask “Building and process optimization” of the IEA SHC Task 65. The main topic of this activity was the integration of solar cooling in retrofitted HVAC systems. Based on the current conventional HVAC systems, the integration may present difficulties concerning cold distribution and refrigerants. Cold supply systems can also reduce airflow in air-based systems and enhance thermal comfort in buildings. The best technical actions for specific scenarios were mentioned considering both technical and economic aspects. Unfortunately, not all the analyses that were planned provide useful data. Results show that there are few recent projects that consider the application of solar cooling systems in buildings and most of them are based on simulation. Moreover, not much data about the characteristics of the buildings (envelope, other cooling systems, comfort conditions, etc.) are reported in the studies. This is because many of them are more focused on the plants’ configurations, and the performance of the different plants is in general assessed by testing the prototype in a single room. Despite this, the information provided could be used as baseline cases in order to study the potential energy savings achievable by applying solar cooling systems.
