The workshop was focused on solar cooling and the target people for this workshop were technicians and experts on this topic as well as other people interested on this topic.

The workshop presentations were divided in three parts:

• Solar collectors technologies,

• Solar cooling technologies, and

• Installations.

On the first part the participants were high efficiency collector manufacturers. That kind of collectors is the one susceptible to be used on solar cooling applications. On the second part different technologies for absorption chiller machines and evaporative cooling were described. The third block was dedicated to show the experience acquired throughout time using some of the developed installations, reporting results and knowledge acquired.
