Buffalo District Heating and Cooling System: Technical and Economic Assessment.

PB89165260

Publication Date	1985
Personal Author	Jennings, E.
Page Count	128
Abstract	The information in the report identifies and describes district heating and cooling opportunities for downtown Buffalo. It reviews technical and economic data necessary to building such a system, including a market study of how many buildings would use the system, energy price projections, regulations governing such systems, ownership options, expansion proposals and a plan of implementation. Certain buildings were selected for a survey to develop energy-use profiles. All evaluations were made within the context of the downtown energy-use patterns. This phase one project concludes that it is feasible to build a pilot-scale system for downtown Buffalo and to design it with expansion capability and that such a system would be both economical and energy efficient.
