Hi everyone,
Should we consider the cooling tower makeup water as process water demand?

The Whole Project Water Use Reduction calculator provided by USGBC lists water sent to cooling towers as "process".
here is the link to the spreadsheet: https://www.usgbc.org/resources/whole-project-water-use-reduction-calcul...
This is a good tool to use when early in design - and particularly the IP credit, even if the project is not pursuing the Whole Project Water Use Reduction ACP.
Good Luck!
