An air conditioning system characterized by a multiplicity of conditioned zone and downsized compressors within separately operable mechanical refrigeration air conditioners which can be of varied types including simple refrigeration units or heat pump units and either of which can be air source or water source, and each of which is equipped with a wet economizer air cooling coil, and which also can be equipped with a charging coil, and all of which are connected by control valves into a common support system for the on-peak storage of chilled water and tempered water and with an ice maker supplying ice water, the compressors of the air conditioners and of the ice maker being deactivated during on-peak power periods, and the tempered water of the support system incorporating a fire sprinkler system.

A multi-zone off-peak thermal storage and on-peak energy saving air conditioning system comprised of a multiplicity of air conditioners serving seprate zone spaces to be conditioned, and a common support system for said multiplicity of air conditioners; each air conditioner comprising a powered refrigeration compressor directing refrigerant through a heat exchange coil and through an air handling coil, an air intake duct from its zone space and delivering air from the zone space and through the air handling coil, a supply air duct delivering conditioned air into the zone space from the air handling coil, and blower means delivering the air therethrough, each air conditioner having a wet economizer air cooling coil in the intake duct and with valve means to connect it alternately through a cooling circuit and through a tempering circuit, each air conditioner having a control means switching it into and out of a cooling mode, the common support system comprising an ice maker and ice water storage means circulating water through the cooling circuit, and a water tempering means circulating water through the tempering circuit, and control means activating the powered refrigeration compressors during off-peak power periods and deactivating the same during on-peak power periods.
