Whitepapers

In an increasingly environmentally conscious society, Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB) has risen in popularity taking green building design and construction to new heights.

In an attempt to illustrate benefits of energy storage technologies for targeted use cases—commercial and institutional facilities—this whitepaper focuses on the similarities and complementary differences separating battery and thermal energy storage, two of the most well-known mechanisms for storing energy for a later time.

Each facility has its own unique energy needs and challenges to contend with. That’s why there are multiple strategies for cool thermal energy storage solutions on the market. Ice storage and chilled water make up the two most prominent strategies available. Taking a closer look at the advantages of each strategy will reveal which application is the best fit for an organization interested in deploying energy storage.

When it comes to energy pricing, there are four ways to lower operating cost.

You might have known that electricity is cheaper at night. But did you know it is almost half the price of daytime electricity?

The world faces a crises in global climate change and an ever-increasing demand for energy. While the past century has seen great strides in renewable energy technology, there is still an enormous gap between supply and demand for renewables. That gap is currently filled with nuclear plus a polluting and expensive supply of natural gas and coal peaking plants.

Climate change, national security, energy independence, jobs and energy cost are some of the factors that are merging to reinvigorate efforts in energy storage development.  And predictably, much of the effort is related to the ability of storage to support renewable energy sources.

Many commercial buildings are using over-sized, inefficient, “just in time” cooling systems. Read about an alternative fix for hot summer days.

Electric generation and delivery is going through a quiet revolution. Read here for tips to help get your business prepared.

Thermal energy storage offers many advantages to businesses and society. Here are six advantages you should know.

Solar, wind, and water are capable of producing the energy that powers our civilization but energy storage also plays a big part.

High temperatures naturally lead to increased use of air-conditioning, and a major strain on utilities leading many to wonder what can be done to avoid potential blackouts.

Why big name financial institutions have opted for ice storage as part of their air-conditioning solution.
