With fluctuating energy prices, Loma Linda University searched for a cooling solution that would benefit the sprawling campus. Three different thermal energy storage systems were analyzed to find the best fit.
Some thermal storage media are familiar to most
of us, but what about gravel? Or lake water? See how those can work in the

storage concepts and options for use in hospitals, data centers, and elsewhere.
