We target the "Peak Power Trap" in aging commercial infrastructure. By shifting 50% of HVAC load to off-peak hours, we deliver a 2-year payback and grid stability for CA, NY, and TX.
Commercial buildings are charged not just for what they use, but when they use it. Demand charges during peak hours (4 PM - 9 PM) can double a facility's energy bill.
In target markets (NYC, CA), demand rates exceed $30/kW. A single 15-minute spike in cooling can cost thousands.
Solar oversupply at noon and demand spikes at sunset create grid instability, leading to brownouts and dirty "peaker plant" usage.
70% of commercial buildings were built before 2000. Full HVAC replacement is too costly ($1M+) and disruptive for most owners.
We don't replace the chiller. We optimize it. Our modular tanks freeze water at night (charging) and melt it during the day (discharging), providing cooling without running the compressor during peak pricing hours.
Standardized high-density polymer tanks (e.g., 8x8x8 ft) fit in parking lots, basements, or loading docks.
Parasitic control layer integrates with legacy BMS to predict weather and automate freeze/thaw cycles.
We target only the "expensive 50%" of the load, minimizing tank footprint and maximizing ROI.
Night Mode (10 PM - 6 AM): Electricity is cheap ($0.12/kWh). Chiller runs at max efficiency to freeze the modular tanks. No demand charges.
