Built Different
“Who says thermal storage tanks can’t be beautiful?”
UC San Diego needed a smarter, more sustainable way to meet long-term chilled water demand on its growing East Campus. The catch? No space. Not unless you count the center of a brand-new parking structure. So, we got creative.
Two 1.2-million-gallon TES tanks
now live inside the garage’s atrium—bringing natural ventilation, daylight, and big energy wins.
Open-Loop Design Magic
We ditched traditional heat exchangers and used smart backpressure valves for better efficiency and less energy loss.
BIM-Modeled and Pre-Commissioned
Controls were tested before they were ever installed—cutting start-up time and system hiccups.
A Garage that Gives Back
This is a Parksmart®-certified structure with LED lighting, daylight harvesting, EV charging, and motion sensors baked in.
We didn’t just save space—we made space smarter.
