Solar Air Heating and Cooling Systems – A next IEA SHC Task?
The event is taking place to invite and discuss with interested peers, scientist and manufactures the structure and goals of a new to be drafted IEA SHC task on SAHC. It will introduce the work of IEA SHC tasks and afterwards delve into discussions and presentations of ideas, wishes, requests and visions for the task. It will be wrapped up in a discussion to identify "head lines" of sub-tasks and ask for first interests of leadership.
Speakers
Dr. Korbinian S. Kramer
Dr. Korbinian S. Kramer studied Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Renewable Energy Conversion in Augsburg, Germany. He holds a doctoral degree from the University of Freiburg in Innovation Management.
At the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy he is heading a working group on testing, quality assurance and technical characterization of heating and cooling technologies, such as solar thermal energy systems and heat pumps. Involvement in standardization work since more than 16 years and over 50 scientific publications are part of his expertise.
He is also the Coordinator for Solar Thermal Energy Conversion for the Fraunhofer ISE.
He is lecturer at the University of Freiburg in the international Master Curses Renewable Energy Management and Sustainable System Engineering. He is recently serving as chair for the ISO TC 180 Solar Energy.
Prof. Dr. Andreas Häberle
Prof. Dr. Andreas Häberle is director of the Institute for Solar Technology SPF at the University of Applied Sciences HSR in Rapperswil, Switzerland. Dr. Häberle is a physicist from the Technical University of Munich and earned his PhD at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems in Freiburg, Germany in the field of concentrating solar thermal collectors. In 1999 he co-founded the company PSE AG that offers various technologies and services for the solar sector.
The institute SPF has been a driving force in research and development of innovative energy technologies for more than 30 years, with focal areas in energy efficiency and renewable energies in general, as well as solar thermal and solar electrical energy in particular.
