Abstract: This project is a concept. Due to the large increasing of using ice storage air conditioning sy'stem it is able to save energy and exert the economical efficiency. But this system needs extra space for ice tank. Thus we propose to use artificial ground freezing method to freeze the underground soil for substituting ice tank. The frozen soil can also stop the leakage in the basement and increasing the bearing capacity. Because the frozen soil is icy and hard like a rock. It will stop the groundwater flow or change its direction. Another possibility is to stop the contaminated groundwater pollution and thus collecting them from an artificial underground reservoir formed by frozen soil. Although it is high power energy consumption. The air conditioning system will use only the off peak hour power to lower down the temperature of the frozen soil. So we can win the cost of the difference from the off peak power. The economic efficiency analysis will be study to show its feasibility.
