Thermal storgae solution for Credit Suisse saves energy and focuses on the environment
Built in 1932, 11 Madison Avenue in New York City is a 2.2 million square foot office building that serves as the national headquarters for Credit Suisse. As one of the world's leading banks, Credit Suisse provides clients with investment banking, private banking and asset management services worldwide. Here's how Trane partnered with Credit Suisse to meet their air conditioning, energy and environmental challenges.
The Challenge
Faced with an outdated chiller plant at the end of its life cycle, Credit Suisse explored the prospects of a high performance building that addressed the overall goals of energy savings, improved plant resiliency and environmental consciousness.
The Solution
As part of the plan to improve the building's energy performance, Credit Suisse brought in Trane's New York / New Jersey Energy Services Group to develop a solution. After completing a detailed building analysis the Trane Energy Services Group proposed a thermal storage solution that would shift electric load from daytime to night when electricity is more plentiful, less expensive, and generated more efficiently. The plan also called for replacing three of the building's aging chillers with new, more efficient and inherently more reliable non-CFC chillers.
