by AF 0726 g5 — July 29, 2009—CALMAC announces that Independence Station, a 57,000-square-foot mixed-use building in Oregon, chose CALMAC’s IceBank Energy Storage System for eco-friendly cooling of the flagship project by Aldeia, LLC.
Scheduled for completion in 2010, Independence Station is a $15 million mixed-use development that has the goal to be the highest scoring certified green building in the world, as measured by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) high performance green building rating system administered by the US Green Building Council (USGBC).
Independence Station chose CALMAC’s ice storage technology as part of the overall HVAC system to offset the energy usage during the peak demand hours. By using ice created during off-peak hours inside two ice storage tanks, the building will be able to run off grid during daily peak power times, thereby saving costs by minimizing expensive electricity demand charges.
