After Bad Staffelstein (Germany, 2005), Terragona (Spain, 2007), Palermo (Italy, 2009), Cyprus – the Island of Aphrodite with 10.000 year of history - is hosting the 4^th International Solar Air Conditioning Conference. Through the years, the conference has been recognized as the most important event where scientists and industrial researchers, product manufacturers, building designers and planners, contractors, and installers have met to exchange knowledge and experiences with a common goal: To contribute towards the development of solar technologies and systems so that solar air conditioning can become a real, economically viable choice.

The rapid development in the field of solar thermal technologies and solar air-conditioning systems is a proof that the sun can be a reliable renewable source of energy. The sun can help the global effort to minimize the dependence on fossil fuels and to dramatically decrease the carbon dioxide emissions by reducing the consumption of electricity and fossil fuels for the purpose of heating and air conditioning our buildings.

Ten  years have passed since the Mediterranean sun gave birth  to the Greek “Photonio“ - the largest solar air-conditioning system in the world with 2,700 m² of  solar collecting arrays. After this project, it has become apparent that solar air conditioning can be reliable and economically viable technology. Today we can say that the solar air conditioning technology has come out of the infancy stage and is growing fast to become the next energy that will drive the air conditioning systems.

Over the last 30 years, there has been a rapid development of building industry in Cyprus. At the same time and despite of the building technology improvements and the availability of  innovative building materials, the modern buildings are consuming a great deal of energy; consequently Cyprus that has no fossil energy reserves is spending a considerable part of its gross national product to import fossil fuels. In addition, the mean temperature, according to the Cyprus’s Meteorology department, has been increased during the last 100 years by more than 1.0 °C which is well over than the global average of 0.7 °C.

On the other hand, Cyprus holds the 1st position worldwide in the installation of solar panels per inhabitant. Within the above contexts, the development of solar air-conditioning in Cyprus could not be an exception. Five years have passed since the development of the 1st commercial Solar Air Conditioning system and it is estimated that by the end of 2011, at least another 10 systems of various solar collecting technologies and array size will be in operation. The involvement of the newly established academy community of Cyprus with two State Technical Universities will help significantly to increase knowledge through the scientific observation, research, and development as both universities are acquiring limited size solar air conditioning systems.

It is time that we re-evaluate the role that should be entrusted to the solar air-conditioning technologies. For the next decade, we should focus on factors beyond the scientific issues. We need to talk about standardisation of components and systems that will lead to a) a significant reduction of costs, b) an improvement of efficiency and c) an increased reliability. It is time to dedicate to a solar air conditioning society that will be responsible to gather information on solar air conditioning, to encode it, and to dispense it to all interested professionals.

Closing, we invite you all to visit the sunny island of Cyprus where solar air conditioning is taking its right dimension; the sun energy is being captured to provide indoor comfort. Our expectation is that the 4th International Solar Air Conditioning Conference becomes a meeting place for scientists, researchers, manufacturers, engineering designers, building owners, and investors; where the sun will melt all barriers and obstacles towards the commercialization of solar air conditioning.

Technical Tour to GEVO, Limassol,

7.30 – 12.30 hrs (by bus from Palm Beach Hotel, Larnaka)

The exhibition space in Limassol of the company GEVO is a remarkable technological project. It is an environmentally friendly building, since it combines perfectly the rational use and the implementation of several new technological systems utilizing renewable energy sources. Inevitably, the utilization of solar energy for the heating and cooling of the indoor space classifies this work among the most energy saving air conditioning systems in Cyprus.
GEVO’s new building is used to exhibit sanitary wares, fittings and building materials and it is in operation since November 2010.  The Designers, accounting for the specific  use and  the specific building’s operation hours, have provided innovative solutions which has lead  both to the reduction of the  thermal/cooling needs and to the reduction of energy consumption overall. Basically, the heating, cooling and domestic hot water production needs of the buildings are satisfied by the solar air conditioning system which is backed up by a high efficiency geothermal closed loop heat pump chiller. This combination of CO2 emission saving renewable technologies has been done for the first time in Cyprus. The combined system covers 95% of the building’s annual needs in air conditioning and domestic hot water.
The systems are monitored and controlled by a building energy management system which was developed in such a way to enable distance access through the web so as to give the opportunity to Graduate Students and other interested parties to study its operation. Already, GEVO’s solar air conditioning system is the subject of undergraduate dissertation and post graduate thesis work.
Also, it is good mentioning that the project is qualified to take 40% subsidy from the Renewable Energies Fund.
