Beverly Hilton, Waldorf Astoria BH installed an energy storage system

Two California hotels, the Beverly Hilton and Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, have chosen Israel-based Nostromo Energy’s ice-based thermal energy storage system to install in their properties.

For both hotels, the energy storage company has installed the 1.4MWh energy storage system to provide energy for cooling at less than half of the current cost and cut down CO₂ emissions by 150-200 metric tonnes per year, or over 5,000 metric tonnes during the system’s lifetime.

Designed to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, the energy system enables the hotels to meet their sustainability targets as well as reduce their energy bills.

The IceBrick system gets charged by leveraging power from the grid in those times when renewable energy levels are very high to freeze water into ice. Read more
