Early 1997, the Executive Committee of IEA SH and CP approved a 2 year extension of Task 20 'Solar Energy in Building Renovation'. The aim of this extension was to develop strategies for an effective
The purpose of this project was to improve our understanding of the characteristics and behaviour of char beds both in steady and unsteady operation. The knowledge gained is to be used for
The main conclusions of the survey are: The potential for biogas production from municipal organic waste in Malawi is scarce; The bioenergy potential of the Malawian agro-industries is large, with the
The study tours to Sweden, Finland, Austria, Italy and the USA have given a good insight in how the other countries are establishing the size classification of comminuted fuel.
The project is carried out by representatives of the EFP98 applicants who forwarded project proposals regarding concepts related to energy effective exploitation of waste waster sludge.
In this review a method for evaluation of these technologies is presented together with a spread sheet in which the method has been used for a number of the present conventional technologies. For the
The aim of the project is to encourage the exchange of experience, transfer know how to R and D in connection to extraction and utilization of landfill gas for energy purposes. The IEA-cooperation
The object of the knowledge dissemination programme is to contribute to a continuous, efficient and target group-oriented dissemination of the research results of the research programme for the Use of

The aim of the project is to investigate the different possibillities for developing a compressor used for refrigerators. The goal is an energy efficient compressor
This project is a part of the IEA SH and C Task 23 - Sustainable Solar Buildings. The Optimisation of Solar Energy Use in Larger Buildings. The main objective of the Task is to ensure the most
A measurement system has been built, for Calorimetric Measurement of power in the range 1-50 watt, at test temperatures between 20 and 70 deg. C. This Measurement System is intended to provide a
We wish to establish the technological basis for the reduction of electricity consumption in the case of a wide range of industrial pumps. Pump usage covers a wide range, such as irrigation, heating
The controllable micro-mechanical switch, the micro-switch or the capacitative networks switch (KNK) was invented in 1994/1995 by NRC/MIC. This was based on LK wanting to manufacture electrical
The task are completed with the following results. 1) New glazing systems with a balance between heat loss and solar gains: A new system for montage of glass with overlap connections has been designed
The purpose of this work is to develop a dewatering method that can dewater digested manure to a dry matter content that makes it possible to utilise the dry matter for energy production.
Char conversion during gasification was investigated. It was possible to model the conversion rate in a small fixed bed reactor, by using reactivity data. Tar reduction by partial oxidation was
In ECO-HOUSE 99 in Kolding, Denmark, 59 ecological low energy terrace houses were constructed. The houses are designed as ecological buildings with emphais on total economy based on low operation and
The project has resulted in a number of design proposal demonstrating how new types of glazing can be fitted into multi-storey buildings and how new facade expressions, space and lightning effects can
