Cooling systems in commercial and institutional buildings are major users of water. While much of this is evaporated as part of the HVAC chiller condenser water circuit, there are several techniques that are available to reduce cooling water usage. These include eliminating leaks from cooling systems, reducing or eliminating cooling tower blowdown, converting to wet/dry cooling towers and reducing drift from cooling towers.
