The International Energy Agency Solar Heating and Cooling Technology Collaboration Programme (IEA SHC TCP) is one of over 40 multilateral Technology Collaboration Programmes (also known as TCPs) of the International Energy Agency.[1] It was one of the first of such programmes, founded in 1977. Its current mission is to "advance international collaborative efforts for solar energy to reach the goal set in the vision of contributing 50% of the low temperature heating and cooling demand by 2030.".[2] Its international solar collector statistics Solar Heat Worldwide[3] serves as a reference document for governments, financial institutions, consulting firms and non-profit/non-governmental organizations.

Membership and organization

The IEA SHC's members are national governments, the European Commission and international organizations. Each of the members is represented by one representative in the management body called the executive committee.[4] The IEA SHC Executive Committee meets twice per year and is headed by an elected chairman. The IEA SHC currently has 28 members (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, European Commission, CCREEE, EACREEE, ECREEE, European Copper Institute, ISES, RCREEE, SACREEE, SICREEE).[5]

Fields of work

Research, development and demonstration

The IEA SHC aims at facilitating international collaboration in the research, development and demonstration of solar thermal energy and solar buildings. Their multi-year projects (also known as "Tasks") are conducted by researchers from different countries. Funding is provided by IEA SHC members, who usually pay one or more national research institutions to participate in the work.

Research topics include:

As well as work on:

SHC conference

In 2011, the IEA SHC Executive Committee announced an annual international conference on solar heating and cooling for buildings and industry. The first conference, SHC 2012 took place 9–11 July 2012 in San Francisco,[31] followed by SHC 2013 on 23–25 September 2013 in Freiburg, Germany, SHC 2014 on 13–15 October in Beijing, China, and SHC 2015 on 2–4 December in Istanbul, Turkey. SHC 2013 and SHC 2015 were jointly with the European Solar Thermal Industry Federation (ESTIF), which had previously organized their own conference, ESTEC. SHC 2017[32] in Abu Dhabi, UAE and SHC 2019[33] in Santiago, Chile were jointly organized with ISES' Solar World Congress. EuroSun 2022 [34] in Kassel, Germany is the first co-organized EuroSun conference with ISES. The next joint EuroSun conference with ISES is planned for 2024 in The Hague, Netherlands.

Publications

Apart from the reports and other publications of the research projects (Tasks),[35] the Solar Heating and Cooling Programme publishes several cross-cutting documents, the most important one being the annual collector statistics Solar Heat Worldwide. The SHC newsletter Solar Update is published twice per year.[36]
