... was just a question of time


It is an interesting paradox of South Africa's sunny climate that the very source of heat, which necessitates cooling in buildings, can in turn be utilized to cool these very same buildings. An exciting showcase project to prove the efficacy, efficiency and economic viability of commercial solar driven air-conditioning system has been implemented in Pretoria. The system has been installed, commissioned and is currently fully operational and data is being collected and monitored for later analysis. Utilizing absorption chiller technology, the project aims to define a new method of cooling buildings in Southern Africa.
