ICE STORAGE IS ENERGY EFFICIENT

BECAUSE NIGHT-TIME ELECTRIC GENERATION:
z Is produced more z Is transported more
efficiently than daytime efficiently
energy z Uses less source fuel
ICE STORAGE IS GOOD FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE USING NIGHTTIME
ELECTRIC GENERATION:
z Reduces greenhouse z Helps lower rates for
gas emissions everyone
z Reduces connected z Enables more efficient
electrical load use of wind energy
z Reduces peak which blows mainly at
electrical demand night.
z Reduces the need for

 ICE STORAGE FACT SHEET
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers
“ Because thermal energy storage systems shift the consumption of site energy from on-peak to off-peak periods, the
total energy resources required to deliver cooling to the facility will be lower. In addition, in some electric grids, the
last generation plants to be used to meet peak loads may be the most polluting per kW of energy produced; in such
cases, emissions would be further reduced by the use of thermal energy storage... Transmission and distribution
losses are lower and power plant generating efficiencies can be higher because the load is served by base-load
plants... Because thermal energy storage allows downsizing the refrigeration system, the resulting cost savings may
substantially or entirely cover the added incremental cost of the storage system proper.”
- ASHRAE Green Guide.2004, David L. Grumman, Editor. ASHRAE Green Tip#15, Chapter 9, pg. 86:
Thermal Energy Storage for Cooling, Douglas Reindl.

Alliance to Save Energy Natural Resources

“To avoid blackouts during high demand periods, utility
companies across the country urge consumers to
conserve energy and to shift energy-intensive tasks to
off-peak energy demand hours... The peak electric load in
summer is driven by air conditioning.”-Electricity
Reliability Problems and Solutions Fact Sheet,
Alliance to Save Energy, www.ase.org.
Defense Council
“Peak shifting results in lower greenhouse emissions...
and, to the extent that demand peaks can be reduced
everyone’s energy bill can go down because rates are set
based on the last peak.”-Ashock Gupta, Energy

Ice Storage “has the advantage of taking up less space
than chilled-water storage because the freezing process
can naturally store much more “cold” in a given
volume.”- Heating and Cooling System Upgrades,
ENERGY STAR Building’s Manual, www.energystar.gov
“Shifting this cooling energy usage to off-peak hours can
considerably reduce on-peak electricity demand.” -
