This paper focuses on the analysis of the operation of a solar cool ing system based upon an adsorption chiller. The air-conditioned building studied is a laboratory located in a temperate climate region (Belgium). The monitoring reveals thermal and electrical coefficient of performance (COP) of the cooling system for different time scale (10s to1 month). The whole system including solar collectors, adsorption machine, recooling unit and hot storage is simulated. The models are then confronted to the measurements. Measurement period is shared between 2011 and 2012. Enhancements have been achieved during winter 2011 to have a more efficient system operation. The aim of this experimental work is to describe, for both measurement periods, the influence of operating conditions on the energy efficiency (thermal behavior and electrical consumption). On the simulation point of view, the main objective is to find accurate models for all the components. The adsorption chiller model is not yet precise enough to evaluate the performance of solar cooling in other conditions
