This last Task of the project is thought to spread the results obtained during all the three years, basing the dissemination on a group of reports, that explain best case examples for different kinds of the final use and objectives.

A number of guidelines with do’s and don’ts, experiences on testing and labelling will be published under the form of handbooks and downloadable documents from a web page that explains the work done and the results obtained.

In parallel some workshops and training courses are being organized to introduce possible users, engineers and designers in the use and possibilities of the technology. A first event of this kind was organized in Bolzano (Italy) the 10th of April, presenting the possibilities of district heating coupled TDHPs to more than twenty engineers and technicians.

3. Conclusions

After thirty six months of work, a complete overview on the TDHP market should be available and a useful tool for the implementation of this technology in the identified cases, which have proven to be economically and energetically feasible solutions compared with those conventionally used.

Different ways to distribute the information obtains have been thought:

• An internet website linked to the HPC-site, giving up to date information on

i. market overview with possible applications and examples of demonstration projects or cases;

ii. tools for sizing of thermally driven systems and calculating their energy and economic performances;

iii. good practice guide evaluating users’ experience in different projects. (www. annex34.org)

• A description of a standard to determine COPs of thermally driven heat pumps

• An online database about sorption materials for heat pumps and their properties

• A reference guide describing presently available

i. thermally driven systems with their applications;

ii. software tools, their application and users experience;

• A final report describing the work carried out under the Annex 34.

• At least two workshops with complete proceedings.
