Webinar Promises Answers to Cooling Tower Problems

New York City sees it, and they don’t have a water shortage. Nashville Airport sees it, and they’ve got plenty of water.  I hear that even Disney in Florida is doing it. We’d all better know how to do it, or we’ll be playing catch-up. What is it?

“It” is cooling- tower-elimination by going to geothermal. If cooling towers were ever “cool’, they have lost their charm (LA Times; NY Times). Cooling towers in commercial buildings are the number two consumer of potable water, using more water than landscape irrigation or the office cafeteria/kitchen facilities. Only the restrooms use more water (national average) than cooling towers in commercial buildings.
