This is the first study to apply a combination of two thermoeconomic approaches (UFS and H & S) with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to a chilled water system installed in a shopping mall. The objective is to obtain monetary and environmental costs for the thermal energy stored by developing both thermoeconomic and thermoenvir-onmental assessments. The thermoeconomic study determined internal flows, defined inputs and products, and described the productive structure to obtain exergy and monetary costs. The LCA methodology quantified the greenhouse gas emissions associated with equipment operation and energy flows. The results indicated efficient thermoeconomic behavior for the heat exchangers. The monetary and environmental costs of chilled water are, respectively, US$ 0.2267/MJ and 0.8186 kg CO2-eq/MJ.
