Cooling your building consumes up to 70% of your peak energy load. 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.
