Electric water heaters run at 98%+ efficiency while a gas water heater tops off at 80-85% efficiency. This is due to the fact that an electric water heater warms up the water whereas a gas heater warms up the air around the water heater. ⁠ ⁠ Learn more about electric water heaters at https://hubs.ly/Q02rQ7VK0⁠

❄️️️ What are the benefits of using ice for heat? ❄️ In a new episode of Building Tomorrow, Mark MacCracken, the Vice President of CALMAC at Trane Technologies, joins co-hosts Ellen Honigstock and Whitney Smith to discuss thermal energy storage: a clean energy alternative that involves using ice for cooling and water for storing heat. Key takeaways include: ❄️⚡️ Thermal energy storage can prevent blackouts by reducing demand for daytime air conditioning. By making ice at night when electricity is inexpensive, building owners create cooling in advance that can be used during the daytime. Using stored ice for cooling dramatically reduces the reliance on ACs for instantaneous cooling and helps prevent exhaustion of the power grid. ❄️ ⚡️ The technology is not climate-dependent and can be used in various regions and in different seasons. Rather than getting rid of ice storage tanks in the winter, stored ice from the summer can be used to heat cold air. When ice melts into cold water, building owners can use a heat pump to adjust the temperature and provide heating. ❄️⚡️ Thermal energy storage is more efficient and less expensive than conventional electric resistance and fossil fuel systems. It’s less expensive to store cooling than to store the electrons needed to create it. By relying on thermal energy storage for heating and cooling needs, electric batteries can be used for other things that have to be instantaneous. This method can reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. ⭐️ Listen in to learn more about thermal energy storage and its benefits compared to fossil fuel systems and conventional electric resistance: https://lnkd.in/gi_dNeAj
