AWT has Potential for Deployment Throughout GSA
New alternative water treatment for cooling towers was shown to eliminate scale, decrease condenser tube fouling, save water and have 2-year payback.
Report, webinar and resources >
AWT Treatment Reduced Blowdown by 99%
Non-chemical water treatment uses electrolysis to sequester scale and create a natural biocide
Report, webinar and resources >Emerging Building Technologies' two programs - GSA Proving Ground (GPG) and Pilot to Portfolio (P2P) enable GSA to make sound investment decisions in next-generation building technologies based on their real-world performance.
