District Cooling: saves
energy, saves running costs,
conserves capital, is highly
reliable and eco-friendly... |
| |
Benefits of district cooling for project owners: |
 |
A highly efficient solution: |
| |
With temperatures reaching 50 degrees in our region, air-conditioning can account for as
much as 70% of the energy consumption in a typical building. District Cooling cuts this
energy consumption by almost a half, a most welcome benefit to every project owner,
building owner, factory or home, a benefit they can see in their electricity bills. |
|
Significant capital and O&M cost reduction: |
| |
By eliminating in-building or on-premises chiller plants, district cooling frees considerable
building space for a multitude of other uses, be it parking, more shopping area, or more
residential, commercial or recreational space. It also frees projects owners from the need
to own, operate and maintain complex central air conditioning plants, and frees them
from the need to ever have to replace or upgrade expensive complex machinery. |
|
Reduced project complexity means faster project completion: |
| |
Dedicated experienced professionals take over the complex task of providing the cooling
needs of the project, simplifying and expediting the project development cycle and
expediting move-in dates and income generation. |
|
Improved ROI numbers: |
| |
Reduced initial up-front capital outlays, faster move-in dates, reduced O&M costs and
the elimination of costs related to technical staff all translate into less financial risk for
project owners, with improved return on investment and better project economics overall
for developers and owners. |
|
No idle expensive capacity: |
| |
District Cooling Solutions allow project owners to buy the capacity they need when they
need it. |
|
Improved reliability and ease of operation: |
| |
Economies of scale allow for sophisticated redundant systems, and first rate professional
staffing resulting in superior 100% up-time performance and ease of operation for project
owners. |
|
Greater flexibility in design: |
| |
With the absence of heavy machinery, be it large chillers or even larger cooling towers and
special mechanical rooms, architects have more freedom to design creative, aesthetically
pleasing buildings. |
|
Ecologically friendly: |
| |
A district cooling system eliminates the chillers and related equipment; it greatly reduces
or eliminates most sources of difficult to control vibration and noise anywhere in or near
the project, to the delight of tenants and all those who use the facilities. Unsightly cooling
towers are removed, making for a more serene and clean environment. |
|
Environmentally sounder and safer: |
| |
District cooling systems are designed to be highly efficient. Higher efficiency for such
large systems that ordinarily account for 70% of the energy consumed by a project,
translates directly into significantly less demand for power generation, with the resulting
reduction in damage to the environment, not only for a particular project, but on a
aggregate basis for society at large. |
