In 2010, the U.S. Department of Energy focused its research agenda on innovative technologies to provide energy-efficient cooling for buildings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Key agenda items include developing the following:

1. Cooling systems using refrigerants with global warming potential less than or equal to 1

2. Air-conditioning systems for warm and humid climates that increase the coefficient of performance of ventilation air cooling by 50% or more, based on current technology

3. Hot-climate vapor-compression air-conditioning systems that condition recirculated air while increasing the coefficient of performance by 50% or more, based on current technology

For one such project supported by the Department of Energy, prepare a report that summarizes the project goals and objectives, research plan, and expected outcomes. Also critically evaluate the feasibility of incorporating the resulting technology into existing cooling systems.
