Installed inside the Beverly Hilton, the Nostromo IceBrick energy storage system will also serve the adjacent Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills and help the two hotels reduce their energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.

The IceBrick system uses power from the grid at times of high renewable energy availability to freeze water into ice and then utilize the stored ice in the late afternoon and evening when power demand is at its peak. This approach replaces the use of fossil-based energy from the grid during those hours, significantly reducing environmental impact.

The storage system is expected to provide cooling energy at less than 50 percent of the current cost and reduce annual CO2 emissions by 150-200 metric tons. Over the system’s lifespan, this equates to a reduction of more than 5,000 metric tons. Read more
