This workshop is designed for junior faculty, postdocs, and
PhD students. There will be a panel discussion in which the Hybrid Air Conditioning Powered by Solar / Low-Grade Heat
panel will share insights into the job search, promotion and the
tenure process. The panelists will provide recommendations Gershon Grossman, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering,
from their own experience, including best practices and what Technion, Haifa, Israel

Abstract: Demand for air conditioning (A/C) is on the rise
xiv throughout the world, including in countries with no A/C
tradition such as in Europe. A/C is the primary consumer of
electricity in many sectors of the economy. Increasing energy
efficiency in the A/C industry is a primary goal. The possibility
of using low grade heat as a source of power for A/C goes a
long way toward the elimination of pollution and utilizing
renewable and environmentally safe energy sources.
