Abstract

The building sector has great potential for contributing to the 2030 EU goals of decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing production from renewable sources. This is even more important considering the increasing cooling energy needs. Among the available technologies, solar cooling (SC) represents a good alternative to traditional electric chillers. However, its use in residential buildings is still limited.
