The years 2006 and 2007 mark a dramatic change of peoples view
regarding c- mate change and energy consumption. The new IPCC
report makes clear that - mankind plays a dominant role on climate
change due to CO emissions from en- 2 ergy consumption, and that a
significant reduction in CO emissions is necessary 2 within
decades. At the same time, the supply of fossil energy sources like
coal, oil, and natural gas becomes less reliable. In spring 2008,
the oil price rose beyond 100 $/barrel for the first time in
history. It is commonly accepted today that we have to reduce the
use of fossil fuels to cut down the dependency on the supply
countries and to reduce CO emissions. The use of renewable energy
sources and 2 increased energy efficiency are the main strategies
to achieve this goal. In both strategies, heat and cold storage
will play an important role. People use energy in different forms,
as heat, as mechanical energy, and as light. With the discovery of
fire, humankind was the first time able to supply heat and light
when needed. About 2000 years ago, the Romans started to use
ceramic tiles to store heat in under floor heating systems. Even
when the fire was out, the room stayed warm. Since ancient times,
people also know how to cool food with ice as cold storage.
