Abstract
This report is a main deliverable of Annex 80 and summarizes the investigated resilient cooling technologies of Annex 80. It provides an overview of cooling solutions and their performance related to resiliency against heat waves and power outages. The Technology Profile Sheets give recommendations for good implementation, commissioning and operation, present barriers to application and show opportunities. These shall support the Annex 80 mission of a rapid transition to an environment where resilient low energy and low carbon cooling systems are the mainstream and preferred solutions for cooling and overheating issues in buildings.
Results
This report offers a collection of 16 technologies, well suited to form a part of Resilient Cooling solutions of Buildings. It is meant as a package of information for those who are in the position to draw decisions upon building-design, both retrofit and new constructions. The 16 technologies are structured in four main sections, which represent the four general approaches to making a building resilient against heat:
Reducing heat loads to people and indoor environments
Removing heat from indoor environments (production, emission and combined)
Increasing personal comfort apart from space cooling
Removing latent heat from indoor environments
Each technology is described in a concise manner, sub structured in the chapters:
Description, Key Technical Properties, Performance and Application and Further Reading
Keywords
Resilient cooling, resilient building, cooling technology, technology profiles
