Cooling-as-a-Service at TRX: Kaer’s Landmark Project in Kuala Lumpur

Kaer, Asia’s leading Cooling-as-a-Service (CaaS) provider, is delivering sustainable cooling to The Exchange TRX—a major mixed-use development in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s new financial district. As detailed in the original case study published by the SET Alliance, this marks Kaer’s largest CaaS project to date and its first deployment in Malaysia.
