Operation and maintenance costs of traditional decentralized heating and cooling systems can be significant during the life of a facility. By contrast, central utility plants can offer many benefits for larger campuses, commercial and medical facilities, and other medium- to large-scale developments. These benefits may include capital cost savings, improved reliability, increased energy efficiency, building space savings, operation and maintenance savings, building space savings, and environmental benefits like decreases in greenhouse gas emissions.

IEC has hands-on experience conducting feasibility studies and facility assessments to assist clients in determining whether centralization or consolidation of central utilities will provide a long-term benefit. Once a central utility plant is determined to be the best course, IEC offers a complete range of design and program management services to support all central utility plant configurations for power, chilled water, hot water, steam, and compressed air.
