North America; 40 States
Most major public & private colleges
and universities; urban utilities.
District Energy – Community Scale
Heating and Cooling
• Underground network of

•
•
pipes “combines”
heating and cooling
requirements of multiple
buildings
Creates a “market” for
valuable thermal energy
Aggregated thermal
loads creates scale to
apply fuels, technologies
not feasible on singlebuilding basis
Fuel flexibility improves
energy security, local
economy
Infrastructure for Local Clean Energy Economy
• Connects thermal energy sources with users
• Urban infrastructure re-investment
• Energy dollars re-circulate in local economy
• High quality jobs in construction & operation

Impact on End User/Customer
•Customer capital costs reduced or amortized over
long term service agreement
•Reduces size mechanical room; electrical vaults;
condenser shafts and roof loads
•Colder CHW supply improves HVAC performance
•Lower owning, operating and maintenance costs
•More leasable space

District Energy: Creating Scale for Efficient
and Cleaner Energy Solutions
• Promotes Energy Efficiency and Conservation
• Eases Transition to Alternative Energy Sources
– Local fuel supplies (biomass, surplus wood, waste, etc)
– Renewable thermal (lake/ocean/river cooling; geothermal)
• Enables Use of Surplus Thermal Energy
– Heat from power generation stations
– Excess industrial heat sources
•

•
Increases Energy Security Through Fuel Flexibility
Decreases Emissions of Carbon
Energy Dollars Re-circulate in Local Economy
Improves Air Quality
Wasted Energy
Is a Huge Challenge and Opportunity
Energy Flows in the Global Electricity System
Source: IEA, CHP: Evaluating the Benefits of Greater Global Investment (2008).
2/3 of the fuel we use to produce power is
wasted -CHP can more than double this efficiency
Opportunity: District Energy
“District heating and cooling is an integrative
technology that can make significant
contributions to reducing emissions of carbon
dioxide and air pollution and to increasing energy
security.”
International Energy Agency DHC/CHP Executive Committee
District Heating and Cooling: Environmental Technology for the 21st Century
IPCC Recommendations
“Measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
from buildings fall into one of three categories: reducing
energy consumption and embodied energy in buildings,
switching to low-carbon fuels including a higher share of
renewable energy or controlling the emissions of nonCO2 GHG gases.”
“Community-scale energy systems also offer significant
new opportunities for the use of renewable energy.”
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Chapter 6 - Residential and Commercial Buildings
International Momentum
Summit Declaration (7 June 2007)
Power Generation… (See page 25 of 38)
70.1 - adopt instruments and measures to significantly
increase the share of combined heat and power (CHP)
in the generation of electricity.

Total National Power Generation
