PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Four existing city owned buildings were retrofitted with a district energy sharing system. This included the switch over from air-cooled systems to a water-based Thermenex system in occupied buildings. The partially centralized thermal energy plant saw a carbon emission reduction of 54%, beating the target of 40%, by sharing waste thermal energy.
