Both new and existing buildings need more affordable, flexible ways to heat and cool based on energy availability. The answer is Thermal Energy Storage—which acts like a battery in a heating and cooling chiller plant to help improve energy, cost and carbon efficiency. Besides offering a great ROI, adding thermal energy storage is highly affordable thanks to recent tax incentives.

Trane is your personal thermal energy storage provider, combining leading technology, controls knowledge and systems expertise based on your unique building circumstances. Your local team can collaboratively guide you through a custom, seamless implementation based on your unique goals.  

Why Choose Trane Thermal Energy Storage?

Through years of research and thousands of installations, Trane has identified water as a very effective material for storing thermal energy for later use. This makes thermal energy storage an optimal means for a chiller plant to collect, store, recover and discharge heating and cooling energy. That’s just the start of what makes it such a powerful solution.

Inflation Reduction Act Incentives

For the first time in its 40-year existence, thermal energy storage now qualifies for federal incentives. Thanks to the $370+ billion Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022, thermal energy storage system costs may be reduced by up to 50%. Between the IRA’s tax credits, deductions, rebates and more, a thermal energy storage system may cost significantly less than a conventional system.
