CALMAC IceBank Thermal Energy Storage Tanks at Sierra College

University Business, November 2012

The tanks create ice overnight when energy in the state is generated using natural gas, and the ice is then used for cooling during the day. Michael Kane, director of the energy program at Sierra, says the three tanks on campus save from $5,000 to $10,000 per month.
