Thermal energy storage captures and stores energy collected from the sun shining on the curtain wall the previous day, as well as energy already purchased for lighting, appliances and cooling.

Flexibility to store energy for later use optimizes carbon, efficiency and energy cost savings in response to grid and building conditions. 

Thermal energy storage enables the use of low cost energy year-round, in response to grid and building conditions. Design day, peak load and system-based design allow for downsizing air-to-water heat pumps and chillers.

This system’s “heat pump” capability allows you to optimize utility costs and energy use by season. Trane controls automate modes based on our engineered algorithms, providing you the maximum benefit any time of year.

By balancing cooling and heating loads, not simultaneously in real time, but from one day to the next, the system eliminates the need to throw away excess energy.
