Energy Piles

Also known as “Climate Battery”

  • Subterranean

    A subterranean circulation system that stores or draws thermal energy that can be used as air conditioning.

  • Passive Design

    The source anergy is convection taking advantage that heat naturally rises. Pulling cooler air from underground.

  • Clean Exhaust

    The exhaust is pure, outside air that has been heated or cooled using nothing but the sun to operate.

Inspired by James Prescott Joule (1818-1889)

Joule's research extended to magnetostriction, leading to his discovery of the connection between electrical current passing through a resistor and the resulting heat dissipation, now recognized as Joule's first law. These groundbreaking energy transformation experiments saw their initial publication in 1843.

James Joule

This English physicist pioneered the concept that various energy forms – mechanical, electrical, and heat – are interconvertible. His work laid the groundwork for the first law of thermodynamics, known as the law of conservation of energy.

Introducing Graphite Felt

Primarily used as high-temperature insulation in inert vacuum atmospheres offering high stability through rapid thermal cycling. The carbon and graphite processes from a rayon precursor and fired to graphitizing temperatures. 

Make it stand out.

Daytona Beach, Florida

2.5-million-gallon thermal energy storage tank constructed on the main campus, with a ribbon-cutting that marks what is expected to be years of energy savings for the institution.
