The integration of solar louvre collectors into a cooling system using a water-fired absorption chiller is studied. Simulations for a building were performed using TRNSYS simulation program, varying collector area and using Portuguese climatic conditions. System performance was assessed and results show that with such a system indoor comfortable thermal conditions can be guaranteed. The system may also lead to energy savings when compared with conventional cooling.
