This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

Today's built environment is working to reduce water and energy use in building energy systems. However, water and energy systems are interdependent. Water is often used to generate energy, and energy is utilized to collect, treat and distribute water. In this session we will explore opportunities to save both water and energy using heat recovery chillers, cooling towers, fluid coolers and VRF systems.
