Reduce your campus’
energy costs
with Cool Energy Storage
When you add the IceBrick® to your existing cooling array, you’ll slash your energy costs while boosting cooling capacity and resilience.
Cut energy costs and boost resilience
Cooling a campus building consumes up to 70% of its peak electricity 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 peak price 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 cold energy even when the grid is strained, and supply is uncertain.
The IceBrick® enables you to store low-cost, clean energy by charging during off-peak hours when demand is low. Then, when demand increases and energy prices rise, the IceBrick system can discharge the stored cold energy to avoid higher costs. This can even generate revenue for the building by alleviating pressure on the grid, all with uninterrupted cooling.
The IceBrick® helps you significantly reduce energy costs and enhance overall resilience.
The compact and modular IceBrick® packs some powerful benefits
Savings
Charge with low-cost electricity and discharge per grid or price signals to earn money or reduce costs
Resilience
Add redundancy to your cooling operations
Value
Enjoy longer equipment life and add competitive edge to any property at no up-front cost
Cut Emissions
Use ice to cool your building in place of electricity when grid-power is at peak-time emissions
Value
Enjoy longer equipment life and add competitive edge to any property at no up-front cost
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.
