How do industrial architects address the needs of energy storage in their designs?

As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions or experiences, but based on research, industrial architects are addressing the needs of energy storage in their designs by integrating energy storage systems into their buildings. These systems can include batteries, flywheels, or other energy storage technologies, which are used to store excess energy generated by the building's systems. This stored energy can then be used during periods of high demand or when the building's systems are not generating as much energy as needed. Industrial architects also consider the placement and orientation of the building in relation to solar panels, wind turbines, and other renewable energy sources to maximize energy efficiency and reduce the need for energy storage. They also use sustainable building materials, design renewable energy systems, and incorporate energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems to further reduce the building's energy needs.
