• Best Practice Regulation for Solar Thermal -

  This study is a tool to support the design of effective regulations to promote the use of solar thermal heating and cooling (ST) and to reduce administrative barriers, with the aim of helping policy makers at the local, regional, national and European levels to design policies most suitable to accelerate the growth of ST, as needed to reach the EU‟s binding target of a 20% renewable share by 2020.

• Solar Industrial Process Heat - State of the Art (2006)-

  This is a report prepared in the framework of the Intelligent Energy Europe project Key Issues for Renewable Heat in Europe (K4RES-H). The report focuses on solar heat for industrial processes (SHIP), the current market status and potential, the identified barriers to growth and proposed recommendations. A selection of demonstration projects is also provided. Solar heat for industrial processes is not yet a very developed technology, but among the various solar thermal applications, its potential is noteworthy.

• Heat Measurement Technologies for Larger Solar Thermal Systems-

  This report provides an overview of the state of the art of measuring heat delivery in larger solar systems, looking also at the costs and accuracy of the measuring systems. The present document was produced within the framework of the Intelligent Energy- Europe project Key Issues for Renewable Heat in Europe (K4RES-H. The project looks at providing guidelines for best practice policies to support renewable heating and cooling (RES-H) technologies.
