HI, I HAVE A PROJECT IN MEXICO CITY, AND THE OWNER DEFINE THE CRITERIA OF DONT USE TREATMENT PLANT AND USE AIR COOLED CHILLERS. THE CONDITIONED AREA IS 130,000 FT2 WITH 9 LEVELS OF OFFICE TOWER.
ACCORDING WITH APPENDIX G TABLE G3.1.1A AND G3.1.3.7, FOR NON RESIDENTIAL AND MORE THAN 5 FLOORS OR > 150,000 FT2. THE SYSTEM IN BASE BUILDING IS WATER COOLED CHILLERS.
IS CORRECT THIS CRITERIA FOR BASE BUILDING OR I CAN USE IN BASE BUILDING AIR COOLED CHILLERS?

Table G3.1.1A defines the baseline HVAC system. Based on your criteria you cannot use air cooled chillers. Make sure to check the exceptions in G3.1.1 to see if any apply.
