The Cooling System Optimization fact sheet outlines practical approaches to improving the efficiency and performance of central cooling systems in existing buildings. It focuses on optimizing chiller plants, cooling towers, and chilled water distribution through strategies such as temperature and flow resets, equipment staging, economizers, and improved maintenance practices. These measures help reduce electricity consumption, lower operating costs, enhance system reliability, and extend equipment life in facilities with central cooling infrastructure.

The fact sheet was prepared by Prism Engineering on behalf of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan).
