You are invited to submit your ideas for the Cool Up demonstration projects, showcasing the successful application of sustainable cooling in Türkiye. Following the submission of an idea, applications will be shortlisted. Cool Up experts will then follow up with applicants to gather additional information about their projects before making a final decision. Selected projects will benefit from technical, financial, and marketing support.
Cooling is a major consumer of energy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and in Türkiye. With the Cool Up demonstration projects, we want to illustrate that sustainable cooling in Türkiye is feasible, and safe. The Cool Up demonstration projects will exemplify what is achievable with sustainable cooling in the region.
Sustainable cooling is affordable and safe cooling that meets users’ needs while having minimal impact on the environment. Specifically, sustainable cooling does not use environmentally harmful refrigerants such as fluorinated gases (F-gases), it has low energy demand through high efficiency, and it is compatible with a fully renewable energy supply.
