Abstract. Aquifers are underground porous formations containing water. Con ned aquifers are surrounded by impermeable layers on top and bottom, called cap rocks and bed rocks. A con ned aquifer with a very low groundwater ow velocity was considered to meet the annual cooling and heating energy requirements of a residential building complex in Tehran, Iran. Three di erent alternatives of Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) were employed to meet the heating/cooling demands of the buildings. These alternatives were using ATES for: cooling alone, heating alone by coupling with at-plate solar collectors, and cooling and heating by coupling with a heat pump. For the economic evaluation of the alternatives, a life cycle cost analysis was employed. For the environmental evaluation, Ret Screen software was employed. For the considered 3 operational alternatives, using ATES for cooling alone had the minimum payback period time of 2.41 years and the life cycle cost of 16000 $. In the environmental perspective, among the 3 alternatives, coupling of ATES with heat pump for cooling and heating had the minimum CO 2 generation, corresponding to 359 tons/year.

This chapter presents a state-of-the-art review on the available thermal energy storage (TES) technologies by sensible heat for building applications. After a brief introduction, the basic principles and the required features for desired sensible heat storage are summarized. Then, material candidates and recent advances on sensible heat or cold storage adapted for building application are discussed, each with its own characteristics, advantages, and limitations. A large section of the chapter is devoted to the sensible TES technologies for buildings, both for short-term (daily) and for long-term (seasonal) storage. Each technology is described in detail including different aspects: basic principle, development status, performance and costs, potential and barriers, today's R&D activity focus, etc. Comparisons on the advantages and limitations between different TES technologies are also made. Finally, conclusions and future directions are summarized.
