Eliminating boiler and chiller facilities from buildings improves their safety. Furthermore, managing these facilities centrally helps to prevent secondary disasters in natural disasters such as earthquakes. This ensures cities are better positioned for disaster prevention.
Since there is no longer any need for chimneys, cooling water piping, and cooling towers on the rooftops of individual buildings, the look of the city landscape can be improved with more harmonious, aesthetic building design. At the same time, the saved space can be used for greening projects.
Buildings are freed from the waste heat and noise of air conditioning facilities, which makes for a more comfortable, habitable urban living environment.
