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 space cooling comes from emerging economies and will more than triple by 2050 to 6,000 TWh/a. Therefore, the IEA SHC Task 65 “Solar Cooling for the Sunbelt Regions”, started in July 2020, is focusing on innovations for affordable, safe, and reliable Solar Cooling systems for the Sunbelt regions. The innovation is the adaptation of existing concepts/technologies to the Sunbelt regions using solar energy, either solar thermal or solar PV. Solar cooling will therefore play an important role in the decarbonization of the cooling sector using natural refrigerants, e.g. with hybrid system solutions of all kinds coming onto the market.
