We provide chilled water for air conditioning to 14 customers at the Domain totaling 4.1 million square feet of retail/residential space, but we have been unable to store the chilled water and offset peak demand without a tank, until this project.

Thermal Energy Storage Tank at Domain to Help Offset Peak Energy Demand
Austin Energy contractors began installing
this week the concrete panels that form the sides of the four-story tall
thermal energy storage tank at the Domain Energy Center
in North Austin. The 2.4 million-gallon thermal storage
tank will allow Austin Energy to chill water to 42 degrees overnight
then turn the chillers off during summer days, offsetting 4.3 megawatts
of energy use during peak demand periods.
