As lithium-ion batteries proliferated for grid storage, a small contingent of entrepreneurs pitched an alternative technology: thermal storage, which pre-heats or -cools a building to cut electrical usage during expensive peak hours. Ice Energy filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in December, in a setback for small-scale thermal energy storage.

That accolade belongs to Ecobee, a small Canadian startup that launched the Ecobee Smart in 2008 , three years before Nest came along. The sensors also work with the thermostat to shut off the HVAC if a door or window is left open, something Nest’s never did. Ex-Apple engineers! Entirely new design for a thermostat!

Pulling heat from the subsurface of the earth has been a proven method for powering the cooling and heating of buildings for ~70 years. But the costs, implementation timelines, and space requirements have relegated this type of HVAC system to very large and fancy properties (think military bases, presidential libraries, and museums).

It is more cost effective to add solar and storage than to improve the efficiency of the building shell, or to replace existing HVAC equipment prior to its end of life with new high efficiency equipment. In operation this high efficiency inverter-based HVAC system was almost impossible to hear. Time to burn that bridge to natural gas.
