I'd imagine they chose to have the buildings handle their own cooling needs for a few reasons, namely underground space is limited and the designs / plans for the new towers was not finalized, and therefore it would have been difficult to design the plant which was needed sooner for the museum.
Here's some information on the new plant. (pdf) |
Video still not working maybe it's cos I am in the U.K.?
I know why they scaled it back - it's because the more water they suck through the more fish and eggs can be damaged and stick against the filters.
Read an article on it.
