China Pioneers Smarter, Greener Ways to Keep Cities Cool Amid Rising Temperatures

Cities across the country are now exploring district cooling as part of this effort.

District cooling works much like district heating, except that chilled water circulates through the pipes instead of hot water.

However, whether district cooling can be adopted more widely depends on one key principle: solutions must be tailored to local conditions.

Environmental sustainability and economic viability are equally important when developing district cooling systems.

Thanks to economies of scale, district cooling can deliver significant energy savings and carbon reductions, and it has enormous potential.
