Building electrification is a pathway for reducing our carbon footprint. Also known as “building decarbonization,” building electrification is the shift from using fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, to electricity, for heating and cooking. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, a majority of residential and commercial buildings use fossil fuels, contributing around 13% of all US greenhouse gas emissions.

Among the benefits of building electrification are, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, mitigating impacts of climate change, improving air quality, and cost savings.

There are opportunities to decarbonize and incorporate electrification in modular central plant design. Electricity sourced by renewable power production to reduce or eliminate the carbon footprint of a central plant is an example.

Austin Energy, the community-owned utility company that services downtown Austin needed to quickly expand their district cooling capacity to meet the increased demand for chilled water services in response to the area's rapid growth.

In partnership with Texas AirSystems, Systecon has helped with Austin’s district cooling system expansion by providing modular utility solutions for its District Cooling Plants #3 (DCP3) and #4 (DCP4).

Why Modular is Perfect for Multi-Phase Builds

When Maximum Efficiency is Required Think modular utility systems will limit the level of efficiency that your project can achieve? It’s actually quite the opposite. Engineers and designers of the most innovative projects, pushing the boundaries of

Modular. Prefab. Factory-Built. Offsite Construction. Whatever terminology you prefer, the process is one of the hottest topics in the construction industry. Modular construction has been around for a very long time but the continued shortage of skilled
