California Lottery Uses Thermal Energy Storage to Achieve Net Zero
FAIR LAWN, N.J. — CALMAC has announced the installation of its IceBank® thermal energy storage tanks at the California State Lottery Headquarters in Sacramento, Calif. The old, inefficient building was replaced by a new building, which now consists of retail, exhibition, and office space plus a net-zero multi-purpose pavilion. It is designed to not only be energy efficient, but also meet the requirements for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification.
Sustainable features of this new facility include a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, thermal energy storage, daylight harvesting, radiant floor, and green roof areas. Interface Engineering worked with CALMAC and Trane, a brand of Ingersoll Rand, to upgrade the central utility plant, which produces cold water to feed all the buildings on the campus.
