Abstract

In order to meet European targets for decarbonisation in 2050, the amount of building energy needs that must be covered through RES is going to increase. Considering the increasing needs for space cooling, mainly due to climate change, technical solutions involving renewable sources of energy for cooling purposes are of great interest. Solar absorption chillers represent a valid answer, but their use in the residential sector is at early stage.
