PHILADELPHIA'S GALLERY II SHOPPING CENTER COMPLEX:AN ANALYSIS TOR THE APPLICATION OF AN INTEGRATED COMMUNITY ENERGY SYSTEM Vol. 1:Executive Summary

摘要

This report summarizes the results of ANL's study of the energy and economic aspects of energy system options for the Gallery II development. Gallery II is a 1.3 million ft² office and shopping complex to be built in downtown Philadelphia. Seven centralized energy system alternatives, including five total energy systems and two heat-pump sys-tems, were analyzed and compared with a decentralized, all-electric, conventional system. Comparisons among systems indicate that, in today's economy, the heat-pump-centered system which redistributes heat among different zones of buildings through the operation of heat pumps can achieve significant energy and economic savings.
