Filinvest Land Inc. (FLI) will replicate its district cooling system (DCS) project in Northgate Cyberzone in Filinvest City, Alabang to its other developments in the country.
The company said the system has been proven to be more efficient than conventional air conditioning as it brings significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by involving the distribution of cooling capacity in the form of chilled water or other medium from a central source to multiple buildings through a network of underground pipes, eliminating the need for make-up water and the chemical treatment of cooling towers.
FLI subsidiary, Filinvest Clark Mimosa Inc. (FMCI) tapped the Philippine DCS Development Corp. (PDDC) to develop a DCS in its Filinvest Mimosa Plus Leisure City.
PDDC is a joint venture between French-based multinational firm ENGIE and FLI that was formed in 2013.
Its existing DCS in the 18.7-hectare Northgate Cyberzone is equipped with a 10,000-ton refrigerant plant, a 42.2 megawatts (MW) cooling capacity and a 3.4-kilometer underground distribution network of steel pipes.
