Cooling and air-conditioning systems are the primary consumers of building energy in hot and mixed climate locations. The reliance on traditional systems, driven electrically, is the main reason behind the deteri. AbbreviationsAC Air. Building sector is the major consumer of final energy use worldwide by up to 40%. Statistics of responsible organisations and parties evident that most of this percentage is consumed for. Solar energy can be utilised to power cooling and air-conditioning systems by two methods: electrically and thermally. In the electrical form, photovoltaic (PV) panels convert the sunli. Solar thermal energy is typically used as a driving temperature in the SCACSs. These systems are generally classified as open, closed, and thermo-mechanical cycles, as shown in Fig. 5. IEA has reported that SCACSs among solar technologies are forecasted to progress rapidly in the future, compared with other thermally driven applications (IEA, 2018). A bri.
