Carbon-Free Cooling
with Energy Storage for
Office Buildings.
Drive electricity costs down while serving your tenants with more clean energy when you add the IceBrick® to your property. Improve your NOI as offices enjoy zero-carbon cooling also after sunset.
Cut down your carbon footprint and energy costs
Cooling your building consumes up to 70% of your peak energy load. Cutting down both energy costs and carbon emissions to meet sustainability goals while meeting cooling demands can be a capital-intensive challenge. The main problem is that cooling demands stay at peak levels long after renewable energy sources are out. This means that the electricity you use during the afternoon and evening hours is both carbon intensive as well as costly for the grid and you. The IceBrick® changes all that.
The IceBrick® allows you to store clean energy by charging when it's available—either from renewables onsite or from the grid—and when grid or price signals indicate it’s cheap. Then, when the grid price is up, or renewable energy is out, the system can discharge the stored cold energy to generate grid revenue and maintain uninterrupted cooling without resorting to carbon-intensive, costly afternoon-evening grid electricity.
The IceBrick® helps you reach carbon free cooling, significantly reduce energy costs, and enhance overall resilience.
The compact and modular IceBrick® packs some powerful benefits
Zero-carbon
Use ice to cool your building in place of electricity when renewable energy isn’t available
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
ESG Compliance
Ensure your building is truly carbon compliant and use the dashboard for easy reporting
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.
