deep lake water cooling
 |
Deep lake water cooling scheme for
Toronto
|
The use of cold water piped from a lake bottom for cooling. Where available,
it provides an efficient, renewable substitute for air
conditioning which requires expensive, peak demand electrical generation
and, typically, the burning of fossil fuels. Like geothermal
energy and unlike many other forms of renewable energy, water-cooling
taps a reliable supply because lake-bottom water is a year-round constant
4°C.
