Cooling Technologies for Commercial Facilities

Overview

Over the last decade, manufacturers made significant advances in developing and producing a new generation of natural gas refrigeration, cooling, and humidity control equipment.  As a result, today’s natural gas cooling options can offer:

• Lower operating costs
• Reduced demand charges
• Quick payback on equipment purchases
• Improved indoor air quality
• A plentiful, domestic energy source
• Innovative financing plans and rebates from manufacturers, local gas companies and government entities
• Improved reliability of the electric grid, especially during the high summer demand period
• A cleaner, healthier environment

As deregulation and new temperature-based electric utility pricing mechanisms such as “real-time pricing” become more prevalent, natural gas will likely prove to be an even more economical choice, particularly for hybrid cooling systems.
