Zeolites are attractive for the possible use in heating and cooling systems which utilize solar energy as a heat source (Fig. 3). When heated, zeolites release water vapor and as long as they stay dry, they can store large amounts of latent heat. When zeolites absorb moisture, they release the stored heat, and this regenerative cycle can be repeated numerous times.

AUA is supplied with hot water and with heating and cooling by DESODEC project. The system provides the university with heat in the winter, and cooling in the summer. DESODEC is the first solar driven combined system in the former Soviet Union, and one of a handful in the world. Solar photovoltaic station installed on the roof, provides electricity to the system that makes the university building independent from the electricity grid, and which serves to back-up the university Internet servers.
