The Red Rocks Community College IDEA Lab shows its commitment to the race for sustainability by improving upon the invention of air conditioning. In response to the NSF Innovation Challenge, the Cooling Tower Blow Down Water Conservation design provides a method to substantially reduce the amount of water used by large buildings. As the Southwest U.S. faces long-term drought, the system developed by this dedicated team may ensure sustainable water usage for generations to come.
