For all of my MEP engineers...what are your thoughts? I understand that many data centers utilize systems with large water consumption, but in my personal experience, I often see designs calling for closed loop systems to minimize water usage.

What are your thoughts on what the public gets right vs what is sensationalized?

I posted this on another engineering subreddit but realized I wouldn't get more experience-knowledge based answers.

I am going to assume you are all smarter and more experienced than me (which is probably true). So let me know what you think?!

I work in MEP and mostly have only done data centers so I have my opinions. But I’m just curious to see what everybody else on here thinks about the public opinion.

EDIT: Getting downvoted because people on an engineering sub are not receptive to understanding how closed loop/open loop, power generation, and heat rejection work...was not on my bingo card.
