“The energy in the conference room was just brilliant,” says AIRAH CEO Phil Wilkinson, M.AIRAH. “There was leading-edge content from the speakers, a good mix of attendees from different sectors, and some great questions from the audience. And the student ‘lightning round’ was fantastic – it proved that the future of solar cooling is in very capable hands.”
Held at the CSIRO EcoSciences precinct in Brisbane on March 27, the Solar Cooling Workshop honed in on the ever-increasing interest in the field of solar cooling. The one-day event explored new ideas, technology and innovations.
During the Workshop, a broad catalogue of speakers shared their knowledge, ideas and experience. With so many of the field’s leading national and international experts stepping up to the lectern, the workshop delivered a full day of invaluable information to delegates.
Covering everything from the international perspective on solar cooling to local innovators and their projects, the Workshop’s array of topics had attendees grabbing every opportunity to debate and discuss new ideas and information.
