Book Excerpt : Ice-Houses: Energy, Architecture and Sustainability presents a novel technology and approach associated with daily and seasonal ice storage, passive cooling and natural technologies by different methods including heat pumps, in order to reduce electricity consumption. Introducing a new green and sustainable technology for decreasing electrical energy consumed for HVAC purposes, particularly at peak times, by using a natural and/or low-energy ice production and storage system, this book covers different aspects of ice-houses and cold energy production, storage and utilization. Addressing various issues connected to the technology and structure of traditional ice-houses, natural and artificial ice making, daily and seasonal ice storage by heat pumps and ice-houses, this refences looks at a new technological approach for the reduction of electrical energy consumption in buildings. This book provides a comprehensive overview of ice house storage along with worked examples and global case studies, essential for researchers and engineers looking to advance their understanding of this method of thermal storage. Includes worked examples which calculate and determine the amounts of different parameters, to help better understand the problem-solving process Provides a comprehensive literature review on the history and architecture of ice-houses, along with different of ice production and storage Contains recent developments related to cold energy production and storage through ice making to reduce electricity demand
