Reports
Waste Heat Assessment and Resource Mapping (WHARM) Final Project Report: A data-driven approach to investigating heat recovery potential from cooling applications.
Digital Twin Development for Solar-Powered Refrigeration Systems Integrated with EVs for Cooling Transportation in Clean Air Zones: A sustainable, zero-emission cooling transportation solution for food, healthcare and other sectors in UK clean air zones.
Exploring the social acceptability of diverse cooling technologies: A research to study public awareness and social acceptability of emerging cooling technologies in the UK and to inform policy and deployment strategies amid rising demand for cooling.
Investigating mixed-circuit injection-extraction strategies between borehole heat exchangers in a cooling dominated system: A research to explore the use of underground thermal energy storage to simultaneously meet cooling demands and store waste heat for future use, supporting low-carbon energy systems.

Tools & Models
West Midlands Waste Heat Sources Map: An interactive tool that allows users to identify and calculate the amount of waste heat available within any selected area of the West Midlands. This map is a key output from the WHARM project, developed through Round 1 seed funding.
Collaborative Comic: Reef-UK members joined forces in a fun, hands-on storytelling activity to co-create a comic about Frostwick — a typically chilly UK town suddenly facing an extraordinary heatwave. Working in small groups, participants imagined how the community might respond, adapt, and eventually thrive in a changing climate.This comic captures not only Frostwick’s fictional transformation, but also the collective imagination and insight of Reef-UKC members — turning technical discussions about renewable cooling into a vibrant story of community resilience.
