NL-Petten: Study on cooling individual and centralized technologies to cover the current and future cooling demand in the residential sector of the EU

The study will provide energy modelers and policy makers in the EU with detailed data and projections related to the current and future techno-economic performance of cooling technologies, leading to more accurate models and better-informed policy-making in the field of cooling, thereby supporting the heating and cooling strategy. The study will focus on cooling technologies that are applicable for individual and centralized cooling in the residential sector. The study aims to provide impartial quantitative information about the current and future operational and economic characteristics of different cooling technologies. This information will cover key parameters necessary for technical and financial assessments of cooling technologies, as well as for systemic modelling activities, including efficiency, capital, and operating costs. The information provided must be representative of the various conditions prevailing in the EU (e.g., climate, prices). This can be achieved by giving differentiated data according to geographical/climatic zones (e.g., Nordic, Mediterranean, Western, and Eastern) or by other means deemed appropriate, such as formulas, graphs, and/or tables.
