Can I use the potable water analysis reports from the city utility to calculate the cycles?

Hi,

I am a bit confused with the credit requirements for achieving 1 point.
We have already the make-up water parameters and we have calculated the cycles of concentration for each...

Our project is an apartment building with retail and utilizes its own chiller plant with cooling towers. We would like to reduce water loss through blowdown by treating the water in the cooling...

The FORM in LOL next to the Table: Potable water analysis, says that if treatment is used, cycles may exceed the number of cycles in the Table. 

What does this mean? If treatment is used,...

Hi,

In one of the projects, there are no cooling tower. There are no AC Spaces in our project, and hence for the energy simulations ASHRAE 90.1 2010 Appendix G Space System 10 is selected...

Hi All,

How do we control the maximum number of cycles of the cooling tower?

Is it by controlling bleed off rate and make-up water rate according to the following method which I...
