Would you wait until people arrive to start making ice for a party? Of course, not! So why is it standard practice to do this with buildings? Planning ahead is smart with energy storage.

1. Would you Wait
until people
arrive for a
party before
making ice?

IceBank® Energy Storage: Cooling
for a Greener, Smarter Future

2. Over 30 years,
4,000+ projects,
500+MW thermal
energy storage
installed in over
35 countries.
With an IceBank
system the St. Lucie
County School District
saved about $5 million
a year and moved from
60th in the state in
energy costs per
sq. ft. to 18th.
Of course you wouldn’t wait until people
arrived for a party to start making ice.
That would be ridiculous. Imagine how big
your ice making refrigerator would have to be.
Want to know something 100 times more
ridiculous? You only need about 1 pound of
ice per person at a party, but to keep that
same person cool in their office the following
day would take the equivalent of 150 to 300
pounds of ice.
If it’s ridiculous not to plan ahead to have
ice for your party, why is it standard practice
to design and install a cooling system in your
building that waits until people arrive for work
before creating the cooling?
Planning ahead is smart with IceBank®
Energy Storage Systems. IceBank Energy
Storage Systems allow buildings to store their
cooling needs as ice at night — when electricity
rates are at their lowest.
Then the next day, as this ice melts it quickly
cools the building while minimizing its power
usage during the electric grid’s most congested
and expensive hours.
Some grid operators will even pay building
owners not to use power during this time.
This means, in addition to a nice, cool, working
environment, using an IceBank Energy Storage
System to store cooling at night could actually
generate income as well.
Want a building that’s cool with Mother
Nature? Just add ice. An IceBank Energy
Storage System does most of its work at
night, when less expensive, renewable wind
energy is collected. Have solar? Energy
storage can kick on when the sun isn’t
shining. Plus, installing an IceBank Energy
Storage System can even help you obtain
credits for LEED certification. IceBanks are
simple, modular, essentially indestructible
storage tanks that are 99% recyclable and
reusable.
