| dc.description.abstract | California's largest ice-bank storage system is an example of how thermal storage can be applied to both new and existing buildings. At the Union Oil Company in Brea, California, one massive ice-storage system satisfies the air conditioning needs of both the 30-year old, 265,000 square foot facility and the new 156,000 square foot Fred L. Hartley Research Center. The energy and demand savings resulting from the installation of the ice-bank system are significant. Large commercial and industrial customers are billed for demand and energy consumption on a time-of-use rate. The thermal storage application reduces Union Oil's electrical demand during the peak period and thereby allows them to partially avoid the peak demand charges. Although several conservation measures were incorporated in the design of the new research facility, the ice-bank system has been the most cost-effective of the load management projects at Union Oil. | en |
