Through industrial-scale electric boilers, heat pump complexes, and thermal storage, Vicinity is the first in the U.S. to introduce carbon-free eSteam™ to rapidly decarbonize commercial buildings.
District energy uses local resources to tackle global energy and environmental challenges. How does it work?
Our district energy facility produces steam or chilled water at efficiencies not achievable through onsite heating and cooling.
Steam or chilled water is distributed to our customers via a network of underground pipes.
Buildings connected to our system use steam or chilled water for heating, cooling, sterilization, and humidification.
Top organizations trust Vicinity to provide sustainable, reliable district energy solutions.

To preserve the historic artifacts housed in the Walters Art Museum, our buildings must meet precise humidification requirements. The reliability of district energy and its ability to meet the needs of our exhibitions while reducing our carbon footprint made Vicinity an excellent choice.
