In the near future, more and more places around the world will no longer be able to do without active building cooling. Global and regional temperatures are rising rapidly and setting new records everywhere. This year's examples in British Columbia and other places around the world with temperatures above 50 °C have once again made this very clear. But even in our latitudes, we will no longer be able to do without active building cooling in the future.
In this seminar, we will therefore familiarise ourselves with building cooling systems that enable indoor cooling based on solar adsorption technology. These systems are already being realised in practice today with collectors on the roof and an adsorber in the basement. We will investigate how such a system can be fully integrated into the building envelope and explore questions of possible surface design, technical integration, material substitution and architectural design. The students will familiarise themselves with SFB1244's current research on this system and actively work on these potential future systems.
