Energy storage is a hot topic these days. The utilization of thermal energy storage into our built environment provides opportunities to achieve deep reductions in HVAC peak cooling and heating loads, reduced HVAC energy costs to users, enabling electrification of heating energy use, while also improving grid reliability and supporting utilization of renewable electricity. This session presents three projects focused on the modeling of and real world implementation of thermal energy storage, looking at both applications within a single building and at community-scale.
