Assessment of District Heating/Cooling Potential in Holland, Michigan. Final Report

摘要

A study undertaken to evaluate the potential for district heating/cooling (DHC) in the City of Holland, Michigan is documented. The purpose of the study was to assess the concept of delivering energy from a centralized source (or several sources) through a piping network to many end users for heating domestic hot water, space heating, space cooling and industrial process use. The Holland community was involved through representation of various businesses, agencies and community groups as part of an Assessment Work Group (AWG) membership. The AWG worked throughout the study with the BPW staff and consultants. Conclusions and recommendations of the study reflect the joint effort. (ERA citation 09:007805)
