Desert Mountain High School (Solar Cooling Project) - Scottsdale, AZ

Desert Mountain High School in Arizona, showcasing an innovative solar cooling system. The rooftop is adorned with sleek solar collectors, and the parking lot features shaded areas under solar panels, blending functionality and sustainability. The striking desert landscape in the background highlights the powerful sun, harnessed not as a challenge but as a solution to cool the campus for over 4,000 students. At the heart of this system is a 500-ton Broad absorption chiller (water-fired), efficiently servicing approximately half of the cooling needs for both the high school and the middle school. This cutting-edge system reduces energy costs, prolongs equipment life, and even keeps parked cars cool, embodying a green future for education.
