Abstract
Building integrated solar systems have been considered as a reasonable system for building heating, cooling and hot water supply. Various types of solar collectors integrated with different sorption systems have been well studied and demonstrated. Based upon the demonstration studies, the feasible coupled solar collector and sorption system have been recommended. Typical examples are current solar water heating systems match with silica gel-water adsorption chiller, somehow possible to match with single effect LiBr-water absorption chiller. Solar air collector is good to match with desiccant cooling systems. But the most acceptable coupling would be the high efficiency medium temperature solar collector coupled with double-effect absorption chiller.
