Central Solar Heating Plant with Seasonal Storage (CSHPSS) Their aim is to enhance the development of large-scale solar heating technologies. Integrated Knowledge Based Solar Design Tool (ISOLDE) An extension of work on ISOLDE conducted under Task 11. The objective was to further develop ISOLDE into a product and distribute to architects, engineers and builders. Materials in Solar Thermal Collectors An extension of work being conducted on solar collector absorbers in Subtask B of Task 10 (Solar Materials R&D). Evaluation of Task 13 Houses Within the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling programme Task 13 "Advances Solar Low Energy Houses" resulted in 14 demonstration projects constructed in 12 countries.
