Key Attributes

Reliability – Cordia Minneapolis maintains a 99.99% reliability rating. Customers with critical needs for heating and cooling count on the system’s heating and cooling services.

Efficiency – Centralized plants are inherently more efficient than traditional, on-site boilers and chillers. This shared approach benefits customer budgets and the environment.

Cost Savings – In addition to the reliability and energy efficiency offered by district energy, the elimination of on-site equipment reduces construction costs. No capital investment is required for interconnection.

Operation and Maintenance – Our 24/7 operations and maintenance staff eliminates costly service calls and unpredictable downtime.

Architectural Design Flexibility – Absent the need of equipment in the building, property owners are able to increase leasable area and increase rental income and overall building value.

Environmental Protection – District energy systems are far more sustainable than on-site heating and cooling methods due to their efficient energy consumption. Signing on with a district energy system helps our customers meet their carbon reduction goals.
