IEA SHC Task 66 Solar Energy Buildings The IEA SHC Task will focus on the development of economical energy supply concepts for high solar fractions of single-family buildings, multi-story residential buildings and building blocks or distinguished parts of a city (communities) for both, new buildings and the comprehensive refurbishment of existing buildings. A central component of the energy supply concept development is the synergetic consideration of the interaction with grid infrastructures (electricity and heat) in the sense of bidirectional flexibility.The targeted solar thermal and solar electrical fractions depend significantly on the climate zone. An exchange between the Annexes has been established. https://task66.iea-shc.org |
