Ice Energy Receives Award For "World’s Best Technology"
Arlington, TX-March 23, 2004. Ice Energy’s transformational
Distributed Energy Storage module, the Ice Bear 50, was selected
to receive the Gold Award by over 250 investors, technology
commercialization experts and peers at the World’s Best Technology
2004 (WBT04).
The World’s Best Technology is sponsored by the National Association
of Seed and Venture Funds and the Federal Laboratory Consortium for
Technology Transfer for the purpose of linking seed stage companies
with investors.
The Ice Bear 50 was selected from over 60 participating technologies,
which were submitted by the nation’s most advanced research facilities
and top universities and are considered to be the “best of the best.”
Ice Energy’s participation was sponsored by the United States
Department of Energy.
Ice Energy unleashes the off-peak potential of the nation’s electrical
grid by addressing the root cause of the growing demand for peak
electrical power and increasingly congested electrical transmission
lines: Air-conditioning. On a typical summer day, fully one third
of all the energy transmitted on the grid is consumed by either
residential or commercial air conditioners. To meet this demand,
polluting and expensive peak generation assets are called into service,
straining the aging, under-funded, and congested grid. Ice Energy’s
field-proven technology attacks the problems of growing on-peak
demand and increasing congestion on the grid by slashing the peak
demand of refrigerant-based air conditioning by up to 90%.
While the technology behind the Ice Bear is elegant and is considered
among the world’s best, it is affordable, simple, reliable, and can
be installed by local, licensed HVAC technicians.
