Cooling Arizona’s Largest Central Business District Reliably and Efficiently

Cordia Phoenix provides energy-efficient and environmentally sound district cooling services to buildings in downtown Phoenix. The downtown Phoenix system started it all, beginning operation in 2001 by serving Bank One Ballpark, now called Chase Field, now serving 44 buildings in downtown Phoenix.
