I have to do a project on modern air conditioning. I want to know what kind of air conditioning is used in most modern buildings these days. I heard they use water cooled chillers and pump the water into the building. If this is true, could someone please explain how this works or give me some useful links to some information. Thanks in advance....

The water chilled coolers are called swamp coolers, they are used in very dry areas such as the southwest. They work by means of a fan blowing air through a pad of fibrous material which has had water pumped into it soaking it. It is kind of like having a fan blowing air through a wet towel. They work well in dry areas because they also put some moisture into the air but they are almost useless in there is a lot of humidity like before a storm.
I think the type that is used in most office buildings is refrigerated air or air conditioning, a unit that uses freon to cool the air.
