Cooling accounts for 10% of global electricity consumption and demand is expected to triple by 2050. Given this context, innovative technical and financial solutions are required to ensure that cleaner and more efficient cooling solutions are adopted. Cooling as a Service (CaaS) is an innovative financial instrument to overcome key market barriers to clean and efficient cooling, without upfront investment, with integrated financial tools to recapitalise technology providers. Based on the servitisation concept, CaaS enables customers to base their investment decision on life-cycle cost rather than on the purchase price of the equipment, benefitting companies, governments and society at large. This webinar will help participants understand how the innovative pay-per-use business model “Cooling as a Service” is set to revolutionise the cooling industry by overcoming the key market barriers for the commercial and industrial sectors. The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session.

This webinar should be particularly of interest to:

• Business and building managers who want to understand how clean and efficient cooling solutions can be accessed without purchasing the equipment.
• Equipment manufacturers who want to learn how to increase their project portfolio thanks to this business model (transitioning from selling products to selling services).
• Financial institutions interested in the model and the opportunities offered by the financing of these technologies.

• The current market and the trends in the cooling sector
• Why cooling is relevant for climate change
• Mega trend: Servitisation across industries
• The CaaS financial model: how it works, challenges and opportunities.
• How BASE is supporting the adoption of the model around the world
