Implementación
Indicate and briefly describe any actions that have been carried out to implement this Resolution: 
Acci�nDescripciónStatus
Actividades de campoConducting Sea Water Air Conditioning measurements off the ocean-side coast of Funafuti atoll in Tuvalu. At a depth of 1,000 metres, sea water temperatures were recorded as 4 degrees Celsius, which may possibly be utilized for pumping and circulation through the USP Tuvalu campus (and other facilities) to cool the buildings without use of traditional refrigerants.Completed
Actividades t�cnicas/cient�ficasA scale model of the Tuvalu USP campus has been built, and trial experiments are underway to determine thermal efficiency and cooling potential of the seawater air conditioning system, as well as the energy requirements and consumption associated with pumping water from 1,000 metres, over 1km offshore.On-going
Indique cuáles han sido los resultados/logros obtenidos en el marco de las actividades realizadas: 
A localized model for the potential of sea water air conditioning systems has been built, and the potential feasibility and cost-effectiveness of SWAC technology will be available for nations of the Pacific to determine whether it is a suitable technology for meeting cooling demands with reduced resource inputs and associated emissions.
¿Qué esfuerzos se están llevando a cabo para superar dichos obstáculos?: 
N/A
Indique y describa brevemente las actividades que se realizarán en el futuro para la implementación de esta Resolución:
