            • Ongoing installation of temperature sensors throughout building programmed to BAC / EMS software system.
            • Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system underneath the subterranean parking structure. The TES reduces the water usage and the carbon footprint of 801 Tower by operating during off-peak hours o The TES tank holds 750,000 cryogel ice balls. The Ice balls made of plastic polyethylene contain a special liquid to enhance crystallization. 180,000 gallons of glycol and water mix in the tank, which regenerates nightly.
