The International Energy Agency (IEA) Solar Heating and Cooling Technology Collaboration Programme (SHC TCP) is an intergovernmental, multinational collaboration platform that has been advancing the research, development, and commercialization of solar heating and cooling solutions since 1977.
The scope of the SHC TCP includes the practical use of sunlight for heating, cooling, and daylighting. The core research areas are technologies for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning for (1) buildings and neighborhoods, (2) industry, and (3) agriculture. The Programme is technology neutral and aims to find the best available solar solution
