The IEA Solar Technologies and Sustainable Heating and Cooling Programme (IEA STSHC), formerly known as the Solar Heating and Cooling Programme, is an International Energy Agency technology collaboration programme established in 1977. It brings together experts from member countries and the European Union to advance the use of solar thermal energy and sustainable heating and cooling through international research and cooperation.
The programme coordinates collaborative projects, called Tasks, covering areas such as solar hot water, solar district heating, solar cooling, industrial heat, thermal energy storage, solar building technologies, and heating and cooling systems. Its work supports research and development, shares technical knowledge, and promotes practical applications of these technologies. IEA STSHC also provides publications, reports, databases, training resources, webinars, videos, and events for researchers, professionals, and other interested audiences. Its website features information about participating countries, partners, projects, and programme activities, alongside resources such as Solar Heat Worldwide and technology position papers.
