Overview
SHIELD AIR SOLUTIONS, INC. operates a cooling tower in Houston, Texas, serving the air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment manufacturing sector (NAICS 333415).
SHIELD AIR SOLUTIONS, INC. is an operational cooling tower facility located at 3708 GREENHOUSE ROAD in Houston, Texas. The facility is classified under NAICS 333415, which covers air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment and commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturing. As a cooling tower, it provides heat rejection for industrial processes or HVAC systems, supporting the local manufacturing sector. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks, including the Clean Air Act and the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, which govern refrigerant use and emissions. Cooling towers in this region typically use water as the cooling medium, with potential for evaporative losses. The facility's scale is consistent with industrial cooling needs for manufacturing operations in the Houston area. Houston's hot and humid climate places high demand on cooling infrastructure, making this facility important for maintaining operational efficiency in local industry. The facility's role in heat rejection contributes to the reliability of manufacturing processes, with environmental considerations around water consumption and potential refrigerant use if associated with chiller systems.
Environmental context
Cooling towers in the United States are regulated under the Clean Water Act for discharge and the Clean Air Act for refrigerant emissions. Water consumption is a key environmental factor, especially in Texas where water resources can be stressed. Evaporative cooling towers consume significant water, while air-cooled alternatives reduce water use but increase energy consumption. Refrigerant management, if applicable, follows EPA SNAP rules to phase down high-GWP substances.
