The PSA StarCenter in Plano, Texas, provides general skating, hockey lessons and figure skating lessons.

The StarCenter brings the cool relaxation of ice skating and hockey to Texas – an area known for it’s intense heat. The THERMOMASS Building Insulation System helps accomplish this without causing a meltdown on the ice or in energy costs.

With the stark contrast in temperature caused by people coming from the hot Texas sun and entering the ‘ice cold’ facility, stress might be placed on the cooling units of a normal facility. THERMOMASS insulated concrete walls, however, have excellent thermal storage properties and effectively absorb the BTUs put out by the spectators. This results in a reduced total load requirement which gives the facility’s owner the advantage of purchasing smaller refrigeration systems and then staging the compressor units.

The THERMOMASS Building Insulation System has also been used in Dr. Pepper StarCenters in Duncanville, Texas, and Euless, Texas. All three StarCenters use THERMOMASS because of the benefits accrued to the owner.

THERMOMASS provides flexible design, energy efficiency, and a strong, durable appearance that will maintain its image throughout a long service life.
