Electric cooling can take a big bite out of the energy budget of commercial and institutional building owners.  As the electric industry deregulates and restructures, predictions are that new pricing mechanisms will lower off-peak and overall electric costs while threatening even higher summer on-peak rates.  Since much of a building's cooling load occurs during on-peak periods, this is bad news for businesses with significant cooling needs.

New natural gas air conditioning and refrigeration options are now available that can help owners and managers of office and apartment buildings, hospitals and other healthcare facilities, hotels, schools, retail establishments, and supermarkets manage their energy cost for cooling.
