  • Overview on Solar Thermal Plus Heat Pumps Systems and Review of Monitoring Results (2011)-

    The target of the present paper is to give an overview on commercially available Solar Thermal and Heat Pump Systems (SAHPS) and a review on available monitoring results of these integrated systems. It is the fruit of the research of German, Italian and Austrian specialists in the framework of IEA’s Solar Heating and Cooling Programme.

  • Overview of Solar Thermal (2011)-

    This presentation from the University of Louisiana, Lafayette, discusses solar thermal energy, specifically how it pertains to the US and its potential in the future. The presentation starts with the science behind solar energy and then delves into graphs and charts that demonstrate its potential in the market and where it fits in the broader scope of the US’ energy demands.

  • Thermal Regulations and Energy Performance of Buildings – the French Case (2010)-

    This is a presentation delivered by Enerplan during the “Setting up the Right Incentives to Boost Solar Thermal in Europe” webinar organized on November 30, 2010, within the framework of ProSTO project, funded through the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme.

  • Estimated Hot Water System Running Costs in Victoria (2010)-

    This report was prepared by Energy Consult Ltd. for the Sustainability Victoria governmental agency’s programme. The goal of the report was to estimate the annual energy consumption, GHG emissions and energy running costs of different hot water and heat pump systems in Victoria. This study is an update of an earlier study done by the same company.

  • Building Integration of Concentrating Systems for Solar Cooling Applications (2011)-

    This document was presented at the 2nd European Conference on Polygeneration (30 March-1 April 2011, Tarragona, Spain) by the researchers D. Chemisana, J. Lopez-Villada, A. Coronas and J. I. Rossel. It analysis the energy consumption of buildings from Mediterranean countries and the solutions offered by solar cooling and solar concentrator systems. The paper consists of a comparative analysis between two cooling systems: one with evacuated tube collectors and a single-effect absorption chiller, the other with a solar concentrating system and double-effect absorption chiller.
