Your Best Friend or Worst Enemy: Cooling Towers
August heat is spotlighting the challenges Northern California faces with the drought. Brown lawns, water shortages, and increased costs and penalties for over usage of our lessening water supply. The heat also increases the use of water in cooling commercial buildings. This issue of TRENDS highlights tower challenges and dangers and provides some solutions to the concerns that cooling towers create.
Also in this issue, you can review your energy management decision making process, better understand the changing tune of office acoustics, and learn about a new easy-to-install technology that could make your building smarter and reduce operating costs.
Be sure to join us, and over 20 other local businesses, to
KICK CANCER on Sept 19th. at Bonney Field and watch the Sacramento Republic Soccer Club in the last regular season match. Buy your tickets at
RELENTLESSREPUBLIC650.ORG and help kick cancer.

Cooling Tower Efficiency
Reduce water demand, and improve energy efficiency
with a better understanding of your cooling towers.
Cooling towers are widely used in commercial and industrial facilities. They regulate temperature by removing heat from circulating water, primarily through evaporation. By design, cooling towers use a significant amount of water. Proper and diligent management of that water can increase the efficiency and life span of the cooling tower along with reducing your operating and maintenance costs.

Kick Cancer goes worldwide...
from Accra (Ghana) to Sacramento
When Dan O'Laughlin received our newsletter announcing the Kick Cancer Rally campaign a few weeks ago he was at his home in Accra, Ghana. As a cancer survivor he wanted to join in support but the logistics of traveling the 7,600 miles to a Sacramento Republic game were challenging. Instead, he sent our colleague and his long-time friend, Duke McAlpine, a check to buy 10 tickets on his behalf for individuals who might not otherwise be able to attend. We are deeply touched by his gesture and reminded that the fight against cancer is universal. Thank you Dan.

Building operators and corporate real estate managers everywhere are now charged with moving their facilities toward 'best practice' levels of energy management and occupant engagement.

 Managing Acoustics of
a Growing Business

Organizations placing more people in a small space must take great care with acoustical design. Research shows poor acoustics negatively affect employees' productivity, stress levels and morale. READ MORE
