Abstract
To increase knowledge about reducing the carbon footprint of air conditioning in buildings, this study simulated and compared solar collector and thermal storage options and configurations for a solar absorption chiller to maximize the use of solar resources. From these findings a design was found that could supply cooling to a commercial building in Brisbane at 99.7 percent solar fraction.
