Brisbane District Cooling System

CitySmart is investigating the feasibility of a District Cooling System (DCS) for the Brisbane Central Business District. A district cooling system is a centralised water chilling system that will replace the chillers and cooling towers within individual buildings, supplying them instead with chilled water through underground pipes. When combined with Thermal Energy Storage (TES), the system can chill water during off-peak periods and will result in significant energy savings for individual buildings (and overall), as well as significant cost savings.
