Central Plant and District Cooling

Facilitating a district cooling project requires exceptional skillsets. We’re highly qualified.

A growing number of businesses, organization and municipalities are undertaking central plant and district cooling projects. Large scale plants serving multiple buildings can be designed for greater cost and energy efficiencies. For some, the appeal is greater grid autonomy in an increasingly uncertain world. For others, we’re building systems that reduce energy intensity and environmental footprint.

Experience Matters

For projects this complex, experience matters. Trane has been designing, constructing, maintaining and optimizing central plants around the world for decades. Our solutions range from traditional chilled water plants to cogeneration systems (producing electricity and heating/cooling from the same source) to small-scale plants producing electricity, gas, heating and cooling. Trane chillers are found in some of the world’s largest district cooling applications.
