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 "''advance international collaborative efforts for solar energy to reach the goal set in the vision of contributing 50% of the low temperature heating and cooling demand by 2030.''".<ref>{{Cite web |title=IEA SHC mission |url=httphttps://www.iea-shc.org/about/strategicplan/SHC_Strategic_Plan.pdf |title=IEA SHC mission, see page 4 of the strategic -plan |accessurl-datestatus=2011-12-26dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111104133929/http://www.iea-shc.org/about/strategicplan/SHC_Strategic_Plan.pdf |archive-date=2011-11-04 |urlaccess-statusdate=dead 2011-12-26}}</ref> Its international solar collector statistics ''Solar Heat Worldwide''<ref name="autogenerated1">{{Cite web |url=http://www.iea-shc.org/statistics/SolarHeatWorldwide/index.html |title=International collector statistics ''Solar Heat Worldwide'' |access-dateurl=2011https://www.iea-12shc.org/solar-26heat-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 |urlaccess-statusdate=dead 2011-12-26}}</ref> serve as a reference document for governments,<ref>[http://www.usda.gov/oce/reports/energy/Web_SolarEnergy_combined.pdf USDA: ''Solar Energy Use in U.S. Agriculture – Overview and Policy Issues'', April 2011, p.66]</ref> financial institutions,<ref>Bank Sarasin: ''Solar industry: Survival of the fittest in a fiercely competitive market place'', November 2011, p. 41</ref> consulting firms<ref>[http://www.rolandberger.com/media/pdf/Roland_Berger_Clean_Economy_20100120.pdf Roland Berger Strategy Consultants: ''Clean Economy, Living Planet'', November 2009, p.22]</ref> and non-profit organizations.<ref>[http://www.earth-policy.org/datacenter/pdf/book_wote_energy_world_profile.pdf Supporting data sets for Lester R.

===International SHC conference===

In 2011, the IEA SHC Executive Committee announced an annual international conference on solar heating and cooling for buildings and industry. The first conference, SHC 2012 took place 9–11 July 2012 in [[San Francisco]],.<ref>[http://www.shc2012.org/ Website of the SHC 2012 conference]</ref> SHC 2013 on 23–25 September 2013 in [[Freiburg]], Germany., SHC 2014 on 13–15 October in Beijing, China, SHC 2015 on 2–4 December in Istanbul, Turkey. SHC 2013 and SHC 2015 were jointly with the European Solar Thermal Industry Federation (ESTIF), which had previously organized their own conference, ESTEC. SHC 2017<ref>{{Cite web |title=SHC 2017 - International Conference on Solar Heating and Cooling for Buildings and Industry {{!}}{{!}} Home |url=http://shc2017.iea-shc.org/ |access-date=2022-10-26 |website=shc2017.iea-shc.org}}</ref> in Abu Dhabi, UAE and SHC 2019<ref>{{Cite web |title=SHC 2019 - International Conference on Solar Heating and Cooling for Buildings and Industry {{!}}{{!}} Home |url=https://shc2019.iea-shc.org/ |access-date=2022-10-26 |website=shc2019.iea-shc.org}}</ref> in Santiago, Chile were jointly organized with ISES' Solar World Congress.

The next joint EuroSun conference with ISES is planned for 2024 in The Hague, Netherlands.

===Publications===

Apart from the reports and other publications of the research projects (Tasks)<ref>{{Cite web |title=SHC publications |url=https://www.iea-shc.org/publications}}</ref>, the Solar Heating and Cooling Programme publishes several cross-cutting documents, the most important one being the annual collector statistics ''Solar Heat Worldwide''.<ref name=autogenerated1 /> The SHC newsletter ''Solar Update'' is published twice per year.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.iea-shc.org/newsletter/ |title=IEA SHC newsletter ''Solar Update'' |access-date=2011-12-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111222235609/https://www.iea-shc.org/newsletter/ |archive-date=2011-12-22 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
