Editorial: Summer Comfort and Cooling - an INIVE Workshop

Abstract
Many southern European countries are finding that
peak summer electricity consumption now exceeds that of the traditional
winter peak demand. This reflects the growing trend for building occupants
to install air conditioners for cooling. There is now deep concern that
this steadily growing demand for cooling energy cannot be met. Matters are
made worse by the characteristic peak midday demand for cooling energy.
To address this problem and develop solutions, the International Network for Information on
Ventilation and Energy Performance (INIVE)
undertook a workshop on Summer Comfort and Cooling which was held in
Barcelona, Spain on 31st March
to 1st April 2009. Experts from several countries were invited
to make presentations. In addition to country presentations, various
related projects and organisations concerned with cooling technologies
were introduced. The purpose of this Editorial is to outline the
information presented at this meeting.
