This professional sufficiency work presents the design proposal for a Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system with chilled water aimed at optimizing energy consumption in office buildings that use air conditioning systems in Lima, Peru. The central issue lies in the high energy consumption during the summer months, where air conditioning accounts for 43% of the total energy consumed in buildings, leading to high costs and significantly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system aims to generate chilled water during nighttime hours, when energy demand is low, to be used during peak hours. Through simulations performed in ANSYS, it was determined that the storage tank has a volume of 1155.91 m³ and an energy capacity of 10,128.67 kWh, enabling efficient operation. The results showed that the system can maintain a temperature loss of only 7°C during 8 hours of operation, thus meeting the established limits to minimize energy losses. This strategy results in a reduction of up to 37% in energy consumption, in addition to contributing to lower operational costs. Furthermore, the proposed system supports climate change mitigation efforts and positions buildings as more competitive by adopting energy-efficient solutions aligned with LEED certification standards.
