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).

In the U.S. agricultural market, biogas operations have become an attractive solution for generating renewable methane gas. In a process called anaerobic digestion, organic matter such as food or animal waste is broken down and produces biogas. By creating renewable energy from organic waste, biogas displaces fossil fuels and helps prevent carbon emissions from entering our air.

Without a doubt, COVID-19 has presented companies with both hurdles and opportunities. For Ohio-based Systecon, the pandemic was a chance to grow and explore bold, innovative ways of reaching out and interacting with clients.

A global leader in the manufacture of customized modular utility solutions, modular central plants and pumping systems, and the company behind the acclaimed CritiChill® modular indirect evaporative cooling system, Systecon’s services include installation, preventative maintenance, energy management solutions, monitoring of controls, upgrade and retrofit and more. Serving customers in diverse markets such as food and beverage, hospital and medical, retail, gaming, K-12 and higher education, industrial and others, the company remains very hands-on.

Proper planning from inception is important for manufactured products like modular utility systems. With most projects driven up front in the early design or pre-construction phases by owners and consulting engineers, early engagement in the design-assist process is key in developing a modularization plan and scope.

2021 marks an exciting milestone for Systecon! With fifty years under our belt as a manufacturer and innovator of modular utility systems, Systecon is an industry leader.

Systecon first started as a sales organization in 1949 and began manufacturing modular pump packages in 1971.
