Case Histories with Economic Results

	TIC-TES Project – During 2003 and 2004, we aided one of our clients in obtaining and executing a TIC project for a 750 MW electric utility power plant. Through our use of TES to optimize the TIC system, the project saved over $10 million in net capital cost and increased power enhancement by an additional 20 MW beyond that achievable from a non-TES TIC system.
	University DC-TES Project – For just one of our clients in 2002 and 2003, we identified and developed an optimized TES solution, allowing them to capture over $10 million in projected NPV (net present value) from combined capital and operating savings for their university campus cooling system expansion.
	Utility DC-TES Project – In another of our projects during 2001 and 2002, we applied a strategic business approach and innovative technology for our client, allowing them to create and capture over $5 million in capital cost savings and over $500,000/yr in operating savings for their new District Cooling development.

We have assisted numerous other clients in identifying and capturing maximum value from TES, either for their own facilities, or in support of successful bids to provide “outsourced” District Energy service, or for turnkey installations of District Cooling, TIC, and other large cooling applications.

During 1999 and 2000, our staff was responsible for the commercialization of SoCool® , a patented, low temperature, thermal stratification fluid applied to TES for both District Cooling and TIC applications. The staff also provided key support for the successful technical and commercial developments of new District Energy (Cooling, Heating and/or Power) projects in Lansing, Michigan (with a peak cooling load of 12,000 tons), Washington, D.C. (10,000 tons), Orange County, Florida (over 20,000 tons), and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (18,500 tons).

Throughout the latter half of the 1990s, our staff provided technical support for existing District Energy systems throughout North America , and performed a leading role in both the technical and commercial development of new District Cooling systems. This included the new District Cooling systems that began serving Cincinnati , Ohio in 1997 (now with 7,500 tons) and Orlando , Florida in 1999 (now with 5,700 tons). The staff was also involved in TIC projects, including the retrofit of inlet air cooling for the existing combustion turbine combined cycle (CTCC) installations in Orlando, Florida (where hot weather CT output was raised from 26 to 34 MW) and in Nassau County, New York (from 34 to 42 MW).
