SHEET METAL SPECIALISTS operates a cooling tower for industrial heat rejection, likely supporting HVAC or manufacturing processes.

Cooling towers in California must comply with ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety, EPA refrigerant management rules, and state water efficiency standards.

Cooling towers can consume large amounts of water and use refrigerants with global-warming potential. Proper maintenance and technology choices (e.g., air-cooled vs. evaporative) mitigate these impacts.

The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol phases down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are common refrigerants in cooling systems, driving adoption of lower-GWP alternatives.
