The '''International Energy Agency Solar Heating and Cooling Technology Collaboration Programme (IEA SHC TCP)''' is one of over 40 multilateral Technology Collaboration Programmes (also known as TCPs) of the [[International Energy Agency]].<ref>[http://www.iea.org/techno/index.asp IEA multilateral technology initiatives]</ref> It was one of the first of such programmes, founded in 1977. Its current mission is to "''advanceTo internationalbring collaborativethe efforts forlatest solar energyheating toand reachcooling theresearch goaland setinformation into the vision of contributing 50%forefront of the lowglobal temperature heating and cooling demandenergy bytransition. 2030.''".<ref>{{Cite web |title=IEA SHC mission |url=https://www.iea-shc.org/strategic-plan |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111104133929/http://www.iea-shc.org/about/strategicplan/SHC_Strategic_Plan.pdf |archive-date=2011-11-04 |access-date=2011-12-26}}</ref> Its international solar collector statistics ''Solar Heat Worldwide''<ref name="autogenerated1">{{Cite web |title=International collector statistics ''Solar Heat Worldwide'' |url=https://www.iea-shc.org/solar-heat-worldwide |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111222234312/https://www.iea-shc.org/statistics/SolarHeatWorldwide/index.html |archive-date=2011-12-22 |access-date=2011-12-26}}</ref> serves as a reference document for governments, financial institutions, consulting firms and non-profit/non-governmental organizations.

===Research, development and demonstration===

The IEA SHC aims to facilitate international collaboration in the research, development and demonstration of [[solar heat]] and solar buildings. Their multi-year projects (also known as "Tasks") are conducted by researchers from different countries. Funding is provided by IEA SHC members, who usually pay one or more national research institutions to participate in the work.

Research topics include:
