District energy is the production and delivery of steam, hot water, or chilled water from a centralized plant to multiple other buildings via an underground pipeline system. It is a reliable, efficient, cost-effective way to provide comfortable climate control without on-site boilers, furnaces, chillers, or air conditioners.

The bottom-line reasons to select district energy are reliability and cost savings. Energy Systems' customers enjoy reliability rates in the "Six-Nines" (99.9999%) – virtually no interruptions in service. Upfront capital costs are reduced because the equipment required to link into a district energy system is far less expensive than boilers or chillers, and maintenance-free district heating and cooling means fewer personnel hours spent on upkeep and repair of on-site equipment. Clean, safe district energy service is competitively priced. A centralized plant serving multiple customers enjoys economies of scale in terms of staffing and fuel & equipment purchasing. In addition, as more customers link to Energy Systems, fixed capital and fuel costs are spread over a larger base, reducing or stabilizing individual energy bills.

District energy is your most reliable choice for heating and cooling service. With centralized equipment, round-the-clock monitoring and maintenance, and extensive backup, you virtually never have to worry about your building's heating and air conditioning. The historical reliability rate for Energy Systems' chilled-water is 99.9999%. Its steam service reliability history is equally impressive.

Connecting to a district energy system costs less than purchasing, installing, and maintaining boilers and chillers. It also provides your facility with a flatter electrical load profile, allowing you enhanced savings and competitiveness.
