This workshop was held to consider the appropriate role and effective design of thermal energy storage systems in solar and low-energy buildings. The participants were divided into three working groups: (1) diurnal and short-term storage for heating and cooling, (2) seasonal storage for heating and cooling, and (3) system design, technologies and materials. The major findings and recommendations of each working group are summarized in this report.

Performance and Durability Assessment of Optical Materials for Solar Thermal Systems

This book outlines the essential concepts used to assess durability and the performance of solar collector systems. Numerous practical modeling examples, testing and performance measurements are provided giving researchers a functional guide on service lifetime predictions. The chapters of the book address materials performance and system performance, environmental stress conditions, durability assessment and service lifetime prediction, methods for reducing environmental stress in solar collectors, and case studies on polymeric glazings.
