Burlington Studies District Heating System Feasibility

摘要

As reported May 11 in Seven Days, a community group called the Burlington District Energy System (BURDES) has unveiled a new engineering study that has revived a decades-old plan to heat the city of Burlington, Vt, using excess heat from a local wood-fired power plant. The report demonstrated the technological feasibility of tapping waste heat from the Burlington Electric Department's McNeil Generating Station to heat water for distribution in the Old North End and downtown area via a new district heating system.
