Abstract

The economic analysis of thermal storage air conditioning scheme in a large-scale commercial architecture was investigated. The first cost, running cost and power energy consumption of ice storage air conditioning system were compared with conventional air conditioning, and the dynamic economic analysis was performed. The results show that ice storage can lower annual operational cost and plays an important role in balance of electric power. It can be a reference to the ice storage system design in building energy conservation.
