Kaer

Kaer is a cooling technology company based in Singapore, tracing back to an air-conditioning business founded in 1993 and rebranded as Kaer in 2009 around a Cooling-as-a-Service model. It was created to remove the large upfront capital cost of buying and maintaining air-conditioning plants, a burden that leads many building owners to keep inefficient, aging equipment running longer than they should.

Under Kaer’s model, the company designs, installs, owns and operates the cooling plant on a client’s site and charges a fixed rate per unit of cooling delivered, remotely monitoring performance to keep systems running at target efficiency. The service is used by offices, shopping malls, hotels, data centers, pharmaceutical plants and schools across Asia that want guaranteed comfort conditions without owning the underlying equipment.

1. Cooling-as-a-Service model: Kaer owns and operates the cooling plant, clients pay per unit delivered.

2. Zero capex design: removes the need for building owners to fund cooling equipment upfront.

3. Remote performance monitoring: tracks plant efficiency continuously to hold guaranteed conditions.

4. Full lifecycle ownership: Kaer designs, installs, maintains and eventually replaces the equipment.

5. Sector coverage: serves offices, malls, hotels, data centers, pharma plants and schools.

6. Long operating history: over three decades of cooling engineering experience across Asia.
