Hi, If a project has dry cooling, a type of cooling tower, can it than get this point? It is my understanding that there are several types of cooling towers, in Sweden we normally use dry cooling (cooling tower) with air and not water.

That sounds like it would work if the baseline system designated for the building using ASHRAE 90.1-2010 Appendix G Table G3.1.1 includes a cooling tower (systems 7 & 8)
