Assessment of the potential for district heating in four major eastern cities: Washington, D. C. , Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Boston

This study assesses the potential functional and economic advantages of district-heating systems for providing the heating, cooling, and hot-water energy needs of Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Boston. Thermal energy demand, demand coefficients, and costs of thermal energy using conv...

description This study assesses the potential functional and economic advantages of district-heating systems for providing the heating, cooling, and hot-water energy needs of Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Boston. Thermal energy demand, demand coefficients, and costs of thermal energy using conventional systems are considered. Finally, the design of district-heating systems is discussed in terms of distribution networks, costs, and payback from fuel savings.
