The SHC TCP's work is unique in that it is accomplished through the international collaborative effort of experts from member countries and the European Union. The benefits of this approach are: accelerates the pace of technology development promotes standardization enhances national RD programmes permits national specialization saves time and money Collaborating Organizations SolarThermalWorld.org International Solar Energy Society ISO/TC 180 Solar Energy The Solar Keymark European Solar Thermal Industry Federation: ESTIF What's New Latest News Publications Project Highlights Nominations Open for IEA SHC Solar Award! - Share your success!

Maria Wall, the Task Manager of IEA SHC Task 63 on Solar Neighborhood Planning, spearheaded this initiative. Task 64: Solar Thermal at Work - The inauguration of the 30 MW parabolic trough plant at the Heineken factory in Seville, Spain, on 30 September 2023 was exactly on time. Task 65: Sunbelt Chiller – An Innovative Solar Cooling Adaption - 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 air conditioning comes from emerging economies. Task 70: Making the right decisions, now! - The new IEA SHC LED Guideline for the Promotion of Lighting Retrofitting provides suggestions for accelerating the replacement of old lighting systems, harvesting the "low hanging fruits" and managing daylight. With lighting being responsible for about 15% of electricity consumption and about 5% of global CO2 emissions, it needs to be brought up to date with climate protection, energy sovereignty, and economic efficiency while ensuring user comfort at the same time. Solar Energy Buildings Around the World - The analysis of 20 Solar Energy Buildings demonstration cases is wrapping up in IEA SHC Task 66 on Solar Energy Buildings. In this article, you will preview some of the high-solar fraction buildings in this collection. read more Solar Heat Worldwide NEW EDITION!
