You still have "A/C". For some reason we use the term "Air Conditioning" to represent any sort of mechanical cooling system (it's a shitty term, I don't know why we don't just call any system that provide cooling, a "Cooling" system). Chilled water systems are pretty common, especially in bigger buildings, and especially institutional/commercial buildings.

I worked on the control system for a "Green" LEED platinum residential development here in Victoria. Every summer, without fail I get a call from some of the residents: "I've set my thermostat for 15 degrees and It's not coming down, it's 30 degrees in here".

"Yes maam, your building doesn't have COOLING, please open a window"
