The Romanian Black Sea coast is the
summer vacancy destination for approximately
2.500.000 tourists. In the summer months, the
temperature reaches often 35 degrees Celsius. In such
circumstances, the local authority interest for offering
services at high standards is obvious. Since the cost
for air conditioning using the conventional methods is
very high, in the context of sustainable development,
renewable sources of energy have been sought. The
paper analyses the technical possibilities of using the
seawater as source of cold energy and absorption
system using solar thermal energy. The HVAC systems
based on renewable energy are compared to
conventional vapor compression system from the
efficiency viewpoint
