Workshop on Space Cooling

Background

Agenda

Executive Summary

Meeting Scope

This workshop will focus on space cooling and address the reason for the increase in energy demand for space cooling as well as available and future technologies and policies to meet the demand in various countries. With input from speakers representing public authorities, research and the private sector, the participants will discuss technologies, the demand for innovation, target oriented R&D programmes and reasonable incentives to reduce the energy demand responsible for CO₂ emissions from space cooling. 

The workshop will result in a summary report, posted publicly, that identifies challenges concerning space cooling, highlights best practice examples in various countries and technology sectors, identifies priorities and gaps in current programmes for RD&D planners, and gives recommendations. 

Target Audience

In addition to EGRD national experts, we are seeking input from RD&D decision makers, strategic planners, and program managers from industry concerned with space cooling.  Participation is by invitation only.
