China’s southern city of Shenzhen is building one of the world’s largest centralised air-conditioning systems. The District Cooling System (DCS) is capable of supplying 400,000 Refrigeration Ton (RT) (1.4 mil kW) of cool air to shopping centres, offices and transport stations, covering 19 million square metres. The system, under construction in the free trade and economic development area of Qianhai, can save 130 million kilowatts of electricity every year, according to the company behind the system. Three of the 10 cooling stations planned have been completed, with seven more to be built over the next few years.
