OVERVIEW

How it works

A district energy system is a highly efficient design to connect many buildings with differing energy profiles to a central energy source.

Providing heating and cooling from a central plant usually requires less fuel and displaces the need to install separate space heating and cooling and hot water systems in each building. The district energy system does the work, providing valuable benefits.

Hospitals

Health care

For our hospital customers, reliability is of the utmost importance. Our systems are designed with redundancy and fuel-switching capabilities to meet the reliability requirements for both patient care and medical research. In our role as owners and operators of district energy systems, we support the ongoing infrastructure expansion needs of medical institutions, including evaluating and investing in energy storage or microgrids.

Educational campuses

Educational institutions are focused on educating students and supporting ongoing research. By investing in and operating a campus's district energy system, we support the school's core mission. We provide the capital needed to modernize district energy systems, which support the infrastructure and sustainability needs of the campus. In addition, working with the school's faculty, we seek to engage with the student body by providing opportunities for internships and research in a 'living lab' that enhances their future opportunities in developing sustainable energy systems.
