Abstract
Thermal storage is used in many forms in the UK, storing energy collected from the sun, ground, air and water to partially or fully meet future heating or cooling loads. This allows a more effective matching of demand, which can be achieved at a lower overall energy or financial cost than heating and cooling provision ‘on demand’. Energy savings vary with system type but are particularly dependent on design and operating parameters. Examples of the following have been particularly considered in this study: ice storage, warm/cool water store, fabric energy storage, embedded pipework slab heating and cooling, active solar storage and ground source.
