Montreal/London/Liège/Aalborg/Copenhagen/Vienna – In the beginning of February 2019, subtask leaders joined a web meeting to discuss the work programme of Annex 80. Subtask A will be lead by Wendy Miller (Queensland University of Technology) and Shady Attia (Université de Liège). This subtask will assess state-of-the-art cooling technologies in terms of their capability to safeguard lifeable indoor environments. A frame work of key performance indicators, like resilience against disturbances (black outs or heat waves etc.) will be produced for the international evaluation. Based on these outcomes subtask B will focus on further developing resilient cooling solutions. This subtask will be led by Chen Zhang (Aalborg University) and Ongun Berk Kazanci (Technical University of Denmark). Subtask C will produce field studies and will assess real performance of implementations of resilient cooling technologies. It will be led by Dahai Qi from Université de Sherbrooke. The programme of Subtask D is currently developed by the Operating Agent. The position of subtask leader is still vacant.

Subtask leaders will meet again to discuss the final developments of the work programme in April (12-13) at the last meeting of the annex preparation phase at the Heriot Watt University in Dubai.
