Outlines factors to consider when upgrading a chiller. In this case an air cooled unit incorporating adiabatic type pads rather than a water cooled machine connected to a cooling tower was installed. This option reduced annual water treatment and consumption costs by around $3,000.

Uses the retrofit of 4 Mort Street Canberra as a Case Study. 

Intended for the use of facilities managers and HVAC engineers.
