IEA EBC Annex 80 ‘Resilient Cooling of Buildings’ - venticool & AIVC Advisory Board of Practitioners | Survey

The world is facing rapid increase of air conditioning of buildings. The trend towards cooling seems inexorable therefore it is mandatory to guide this development towards sustainable resilient solutions. In this context Resilient Cooling is used to denote low energy and low carbon cooling solutions that strengthen the ability of individuals and our community as a whole to withstand, and also prevent, thermal and other impacts of changes in global and local climates; particularly with respect to increasing ambient temperatures and the increasing frequency and severity of heat waves.
This survey seeks to picture the establishment of resilient cooling in the professional world.
