Evaluating Cooling Trade-Offs to Balance Water Use, Energy Efficiency, Cost & Resilience
12:00 pm
- Navigating the trade-off between PUE and WUE to determine when to prioritize energy efficiency versus water conservation under varying regional and regulatory constraints
- Quantifying lifecycle impacts across cooling strategies (evaporative, air-cooled, hybrid) to compare cost, complexity, energy use and operational performance
- Evaluating real-world constraints, including peak water demand, infrastructure limits and community impact to guide practical, sustainable mechanical design decisions
