Cost-Efficient and Clean Cooling for
government offices and
public facilities.
Big public buildings often consume a lot of power, and on-site energy storage that flattens their demand can help lower costs both to them and the community while making the local grid more resilient.
Slash your energy costs. Boost Resilience.
Cooling your building can consume up to 70% of your peak energy load. Cutting down energy costs while meeting cooling demands can be a tough challenge. The main problem is that cooling demands stay at peak levels long into the expensive peak pricing hours. This means that the electricity you use during the afternoon and evening hours is costly for the grid and therefore to you too. The IceBrick® changes all that and ensures you always have access to cold energy even when the grid is strained, and supply is uncertain.
The IceBrick® allows you to store low-cost and clean energy by charging during off-peak hours when demand is low and the grid uses the most efficient power generation sources available. Then, when demand goes up, the grid calls on less efficient and less clean sources, and prices go up too, the IceBrick system can discharge the stored cold energy to avoid the high costs and pollution of these inefficient resources, and even generate revenue to the building for providing relief to the grid, all without interrupting its cooling.
The IceBrick® helps you reach sustainable cooling, significantly reducing energy costs, and enhancing overall resilience.
The compact and modular IceBrick® packs some powerful benefits

Nostromo's IceBrick Technology: How It Works?
The core of the IceBrick® system consists of an array of patented, modular energy storage cells, customized to your building. The system is managed by an advanced on-site controller, for energy flow management, and a cloud-based management and optimization platform for performance control, grid-integration, and reporting.
