Abstract
Aim of the project was the development of a technology roadmap for solar thermal cooling in Austria involving the relevant market players. The main content of the technology roadmap is the compilation of the actual position, identification of market potentials, technology development and the necessary measures for it. The technology developments are described in short term, medium term, and long term goals as well as the connected market relevance for Austria and the economic development of this technology. Scenarios for a useful interaction with other sustainable thermal cooling technologies like cooling with district heating are analysed to clarify the future position of solar thermal cooling in the Austrian energy supply. The market player of this technology reach from component manufacture (solar thermal collector, ab-/-adsorption chillers, ventilation systems, storages, control, etc.) business enterprises (hotels, breweries, laundries, supermarkets, etc.), building developer and consultancy engineers to research institutions, energy agencies and political decision maker. All of these groups were involved in the development of the technology roadmap by expert workshops and interviews.
