[https://www.bsria.com/uk/product/Rrj9wB/illustrated_guide_to_renewable_technologies_bg_12008_a15d25e1/ The Illustrated Guide to Renewable Technologies BG 1/2008], By Kevin Pennycook, published by BSRIA in March 2008, states:

‘Surface water cooling involves pumping water from the sea, lakes or water courses and using it to provide some or all of a building’s cooling requirements. Such systems are open loop, where water is extracted, passed through a heat exchanger then returned to the water source. The cooled water from the heat exchanger can be used for a range of cooling purposes:

* Supplying cooling, via a heat exchanger, to fan coils, chilled ceilings or beams, or to a slab cooling system
* To pre-cool return chilled water prior to further cooling by other techniques
* As a source of cooled water for the condenser of a mechanical vapour compression chiller or absorption chiller
* As a heat source or sink for a heat pump.

During the winter the water can be used to pre-heat ventilation air.’
