Regarding the alternative compliance path to the LEED v4 credit Cooling tower water use (BD+C)<https://www.usgbc.org/node/2611780>, a Core and Shell project has retail use in the ground floor and office use in the others floors.
The project design case doesn´t include a cooling tower, the design case mechanical system doesn´t use the latent heat of the evaporative cooling of water and the project doesn´t receive any cooling from a district cooling system.
The baseline system designated for the office using ASHRAE 90.1-2010 Appendix G Table G3.1.1 includes a cooling tower (systems 7 & 8) and the baseline system for the retail is system 4.
Considering that the office uses corresponds to most of the building, can the project achieve the ACP No Cooling Tower?
