Benefits of District Energy

The core activity in District Energy is extracting maximum efficiency from every unit of fuel and providing system-wide reliability that cannot easily be matched by individual building owners.

The primary benefits are:

  • Reduced initial capital cost investment in heating and cooling equipment;
  • Reduced energy costs;
  • Reliable thermal energy products - heating and cooling;
  • Reclaiming valuable space in facilities by avoiding the need for separate boilers or chillers and using our central plant;
  • Avoiding labor expenses related to the maintenance of boiler or chillers;
  • Focusing on core businesses while a service provider focuses on energy needs;
  • Preserving the environment — energy by-products are converted into useful thermal energy, resulting in less waste and fewer air emissions; and
  • Replacing aging infrastructure.
