Join us as Costas Balaras delves into the realm of heat-driven cooling technologies, explaining how we can utilize solar power for cooling in summer, maximizing benefits while enhancing economics of solar thermal installations for year round conditioning.
Constantinos A. Balaras, PhD PEng FASHRAE is a mechanical engineer, research director of Group Energy Conservation at the Institute for Environmental Research & Sustainable Development, NOA, Athens, Greece. Costas is active in energy conservation, high performing buildings and decarbonization, sustainability assessments and energy audits.
This webinar will cover:
• Key design and installation components of solar thermal air-conditioning
• Practical indicators to facilitate concept design and cost estimates
• Closed sorption cycles (absorption and adsorption) and open cycles (e.g., desiccant systems)
• Various types of solar collectors
• An overview of installed facilities
