Cost-Efficient Cooling
with Energy Storage for
Office Buildings.
Peak-time pricing is costing you big time. As demand increases, the grid relies on more expensive resources, driving up costs. Avoid peak prices and relieve grid stress while serving your tenants more clean energy, when you add the IceBrick® to your property.
Cooling your building accounts for up to 70% of your peak energy consumption
Cutting energy costs while meeting cooling demands can be a tough challenge. The main problem is that cooling demands stay at peak levels well into the expensive peak pricing hours and the electricity you use during the afternoon and evening hours is most costly for the grid and therefore to you too. 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, the system can discharge the stored cold energy to generate grid revenue and maintain uninterrupted cooling without resorting to costly afternoon-evening grid electricity.
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
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.
