Main Objective

The COOLSPACES project focuses on developing, implementing, and disseminating a pioneering technology that improves the energy efficiency of public buildings. The solution is based on a solar-powered cooling system and can be used throughout Europe. This technology will significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions and provide economic and environmental benefits to local communities through better heat management. It also serves as an effective strategy to counteract the formation of urban heat islands, which can be incorporated into urban environmental action plans.

The project will include the creation of a pilot cooling installation using:

• innovative refrigerants with minimal impact on the greenhouse effect,
• photovoltaic panels as the main energy source.

COOLSPACES is a consortium of four European organizations from Poland and Spain, combining extensive technical, institutional, and business expertise. The main goal of the project is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing the consumption of non-renewable primary energy used to power air conditioning systems that ensure thermal comfort in buildings.

Funding

The Coolspaces 4 Life project is co-financed by the European Commission under the LIFE Programme and by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management.
