    Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a special tour in collaboration with Arizona Forward, where we showcased our state-of-the-art Phoenix plant located beneath the Phoenix Convention Center & Venues. The tour offered a firsthand look at our innovative solutions and sustainable energy initiatives that are powering the future of downtown Phoenix. Our guests had the opportunity to see how Cordia is leading the way in energy efficiency and providing reliable, eco-friendly district cooling services to the area. A big thank you to Arizona Forward for partnering with us to make this event possible and to all the attendees for joining us. We’re proud to contribute to Phoenix’s sustainability efforts and look forward to continuing to drive positive change in our community. #Phoenix #Sustainability #DistrictEnergy #Innovation #RenewableEnergy #PhoenixConventionCenter #CleanEnergy
