Task 66 Solar Energy Buildings Integrated solar energy supply concepts for climate-neutral buildings and communities for the "City
Task 56 Building Integrated Solar Envelope Systems This Task will focus on the critical analysis, simulation, laboratory test and onsite monitoring of envelope systems entailing elements that use and/or control incident solar energy.
Task 47 Solar Renovation of Non-Residential Buildings The objectives of this new Task are to develop a solid knowledge base on how to renovate non-residential buildings towards the NZEB standards (Net-Zero Energy Buildings) in a sustainable and cost efficient way.
Task 41 Solar Energy and Architecture The main goals of the Task are to help achieving high quality architecture for buildings integrating solar energy systems, as well as improving the qualifications of the architects, their communications and interactions with engineers, manufactures and clients.
Task 40 Net Zero Energy Solar Buildings The objective of the Task is to study current net-zero, near net-zero and very low energy buildings and to develop a common understanding, a harmonized international definitions framework, tools, innovative solutions and industry guidelines.
Task 34 Testing of Building Energy Simulation Tools The goal of this Task is to undertake pre-normative research to develop a comprehensive and integrated suite of building energy analysis tool tests involving analytical, comparative, and empirical methods.
Task 23 Solar Energy Use in Large Buildings The main objective of the task is: to ensure the most appropriate use of solar energy in each specific building.
Task 22 Building Energy Analysis Tools The overall goal of Task 22 is to establish a sound technical basis for analyzing solar, low-energy buildings with available and emerging building energy analysis tools.
Task 21 Daylight in Buildings The main objectives of Task 21 were to advance daylighting technologies and to promote daylight conscious building design.
Task 20 Solar Energy in Building Renovation The IEA researchers will then create designs for new solar renovation projects which incorporate the most promising concepts investigated. They will also develop common performance monitoring procedures and reporting formats.
Task 11 Passive and Hybrid Solar Commercial Buildings Task 11 assessed the potential of passive solar concepts in non-residential buildings through a variety of activities.
