A method of air conditioning a building having a substantially lesser nighttime than daytime cooling load which comprises (a) around the clock operation of a chiller powered by heat from a fuel-fired engine which drives an electric generator, (b) during the nighttime freezing ice by the heat-operated chiller in combination optionally with an electric chiller powered by the generator, and (c) in the daytime cooling the building by the melting of the ice in combination with the heat-operated chiller and optionally in further combination with the electric chiller.

A method of air conditioning a building having alternating periods of high and low cooling loads which comprises (a) during both high and low cooling load operation the steps of i. driving an electric generator by means of a fuel-fired engine, and ii. powering a heat-operated chiller with waste heat

A method of air conditioning a building having alternating periods of high and low cooling loads which comprises (a) during both high and low cooling load operation the steps of i. driving an electric generator by means of a fuel-fired engine, and ii. powering a heat-operated chiller with waste heat from said fuel-fired engine; (b) during low cooling load operation the step of i. freezing ice by means of said heatoperated chiller in combination if needed with an electric chiller powered by one of said generator and grid power; and (c) during high cooling load operation the step of i. cooling the building by the melting of said ice in combination with the heat-operated chiller and if needed in further combination with said electric chiller powered by one of said generator and grid power.
