Removing heat-source equipment from individual buildings and facilities yields multiple benefits. It prevents urban disasters, improves the cityscape and makes residential life more comfortable. All these advantages make DHC ideal for urban planning.
Prevention of Urban Disasters
Eliminating boilers and the like from the interiors of buildings enhances safety. Also, the centralization of heat-source equipment prevents the secondary calamities that result from earthquakes and other natural disasters, enabling urban design with excellent disaster preparedness.
Improvement of the Cityscape
With DHC, stacks, cooling-water piping and cooling towers are no longer needed on the tops of buildings. The harmonious urban design that results enables the creation of uncluttered, elegant cityscapes. Also, the extra room made available can be used for green spaces.
