[EnergyPlus_Support] Do two chillers have to have two cooling towers per ASHRAE



Per ASHRAE 90 G3.1.3.11: Each chiller shall be modeled with separate
condenser water and chilled-water pumps interlocked to operate
with the associated chiller.

We have two chillers sized equally.  Does this mean we have to model two cooling towers?  Can we only have one big cooling tower for the two chillers.

In addition, if we have two cooling towers, can we only have one pump that serves both towers?

Thanks!
