Thermal Energy Storage + Heat Pump
Cheaper than gas. Built for winter.
Calor stores inexpensive off-peak energy and delivers heating and cooling when rates are highest. No upfront cost.

The Trilemma
Owners face three converging pressures — and current technology can't solve all three at once.
NY commercial HVAC costs up 55% since 2020. Gas up 69%. Demand charges consume 30–70% of electric bills. Costs are rising and volatile.
NY mandates all-electric new construction by 2028. 50+ cities have adopted building performance standards. Non-compliance: $268/ton CO₂.
Heat pumps lose 30–50% efficiency below freezing. Buffalo averages 30+ days below 10°F/year. Current tech fails when buildings need it most.
Building owners are being forced to electrify into a climate where current technology fails — while energy costs are at historic highs.
The System
A fully integrated heat pump with thermal energy storage — built for cold climates. AI optimizes charging for lowest cost and peak efficiency.
Year-round climate from a single integrated system. No separate furnace and AC. One unit, one contract.
Decouples generation from consumption. Charges during optimal conditions — milder temps, off-peak rates, COP 3.0+ — and delivers on demand 24/7.
Operates down to −30°F. 3-hour charge cycle enables daily load shifting that ice-based systems can't match.
We install, monitor, maintain, and optimize. Every unit connects to central servers from day one — unlocking demand response revenue at scale.
How It Works
A daily cycle that decouples when energy is consumed from when it costs the most.
The heat pump runs during off-peak hours — overnight and midday — when electricity is cheapest and outdoor temps are mildest, maximizing Coefficient of Performance (COP).
Thermal energy is stored in a high-energy-density medium integrated into the unit. No energy is drawn from the grid during peak rate windows.
Stored thermal energy is dispatched on demand — heating or cooling the building during peak hours without touching peak electricity rates.
Cost Advantage
A 12-month energy simulation showed the Calor system operating below the cost of a conventional gas and AC system — at current natural gas prices. As gas rises, the gap widens.

Company
Buildings consume 40% of all energy — mostly on heating and cooling — at the worst possible times and prices. That's a solvable problem.
Calor builds fully integrated thermal storage and heat pump systems with intelligent controls. We handle installation, maintenance, and optimization through a lease and service model so operators can focus on their business.
If it works in Buffalo, it can work anywhere.
No upfront cost. Guaranteed performance. Predictable monthly savings.
