Broad Group produces clean air-conditioning systems and other sustainability-oriented products to enhance building efficiency. The company uses a patented, non-electric air chiller in its air conditioning design. Instead of using Freon (the traditionally used chiller), the system taps into natural gas to produce a solution that ultimately cools the air.
