The Cooling Technology Institute is a Houston-based industry association focused on promoting environmentally responsible cooling technologies. It advances the use of methods such as wet cooling towers, air-cooled condensers, dry coolers, indirect cooling, and hybrid systems by supporting education, developing codes, standards, and guidelines, and coordinating independent performance verification and certification programs. The organization also supports research, engages in advocacy with government agencies and related organizations, and facilitates technical information exchange for stakeholders in the cooling sector. The institute serves industry participants and entities involved in commercial cooling applications by providing a framework for certification and performance validation to ensure reliability and environmental performance. Recent developments include CTI's launch of the Product and Material Certification Program in 2022, and in 2026 new programs for thermal performance of adiabatic fluid coolers and for sound certification of heat rejection equipment. Based in Houston, CTI operates as a small organization with a focused mission.
