The TESS
TESS, short for Thermal Energy Storage System, is the cornerstone of our innovative energy solutions. By capturing and transforming unused thermal energy into usable power, TESS maximizes efficiency and sustainability.
About us
How it Works
The TESS, designed by Dr. Stéphane Bilodeau of Novacab, is a custom-built, hermetically sealed Phase Change Material (PCM) system optimized for site-specific environmental conditions. Whether integrated into existing infrastructure or new builds, the control platform enhances energy management for significant efficiency gains. Leveraging Novacab’s patented hybrid technology and an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) interface, TESS achieves additional energy recovery and operational savings.
Energy Optimization
TESS captures, stores, and redeploys excess thermal energy, cutting power consumption by 20-40%. It supports load leveling, peak shaving, and can even provide short-term uninterrupted power supply in hybrid configurations.
Sustainability
Enhancements
TESS enhances the performance of renewable energy sources and directly reduces Scope 1 and 2 emissions, contributing to a greener future.
Cooling Solutions
Ideal for data centers and commercial buildings, TESS reduces HVAC loads by up to 45% and cuts utility expenses by 25-35%, ensuring eco-friendly operations.

FAQ
What is compatible with TESS?
TESS is suitable for any top-tier power consumer, offering flexible deployment configurations. Our team will work with you to understand your specific energy needs.
What kind of maintenance is required?
We recommend yearly inspections to service externally exposed rotating equipment (if applicable).
Would this work in a smaller building?
Yes. The key factor is energy consumption, not building size. For cost-effectiveness, consumption should generally exceed 60,000 kWh/month. A free site assessment will provide a definitive answer.
Are the controls accessible?
Yes, control access is integrated with standard Building Management Systems (BMS).
