A thermal-storage system that will permit a Dallas office building (twin towers) to run its chiller at night during off-peak hours will lower electricity-demand charges $495,000 per year. A $411,000 utility credit will cut equipment costs to $340,000, an incentive the utility feels will help to reduce peak-demand load and delay the need for new generating capacity. Three storage tanks holding up to a total of 1.5 million gallons of water will be retrofitted into the office towers. One tank will hold hot water in the winter for morning space heating, but chilling is required on a year-round basis. (DCK)
