As a decentralized energy specialist, Veolia provides energy solutions that offer high-added value and meet requirements in terms of reliability, quality, availability and cost.
A District Cooling System ("DCS") produces chilled water within a centralized energy plant and distributes it through underground pipes to buildings connected to the system and provides them with air-conditioning. Therefore, individual buildings do not need split systems, chillers and/or cooling towers. Once used in customer buildings, the water is returned to the central plant to be chilled again and then re-circulated through the closed-loop piping system.
