Economical, Reliable, Sustainable
Cleveland Thermal’s district energy system delivers diverse heating and cooling profiles to all of the buildings connected to our network. This creates an economy of scale, where efficient deployment of energy increases, resulting in customer savings.
Efficient Energy
Customers control how much heating or cooling they need and only pay for what they use. Plus, long-term agreements allow for stable energy costs.
Dependable Service
District energy systems only use industrial-grade production equipment and controls. This means you’ll receive continuous operational monitoring and advanced load forecasting to optimize your operations.
Environmental Protection
With district energy comes cleaner fuel options. These significantly cut carbon emissions, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint unachievable on a building-by-building basis.
District Heating
Cleveland Thermal produces steam and hot water at our centralized plant. We then deliver the safe, reliable energy through underground service lines to buildings for heating, humidification, and various process applications. Our service is designed to meet the requirements of each building to ensure the most efficient solution.
District Cooling
Cleveland Thermal’s closed-loop system provides chilled water for cooling and dehumidification. Delivering a finished product to customer buildings means they no longer need to purchase, operate, and maintain chillers and cooling towers. Also, our absorption and steam-driven turbine chillers help minimize a building’s peak electricity demand and costs.
Why Cleveland Thermal
On the bluffs east of downtown, the Hamilton Avenue Plant produces energy for our Cleveland customers. In 2017, that plant moved away from coal to clean-burning natural gas, reducing CO2 and GHG emissions by 84%. We’re still on that clean energy journey today, providing reliable, cost-effective, and efficient heating and cooling to the Cleveland community.
Cleveland Thermal also offers value-added services designed to optimize your air handling equipment, identify opportunities to conserve energy, and manage heating and cooling costs.
