Book excerpt: On December 1, 1992, the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority (MPEA) met on Chicago's historic Navy Pier and ushered in a new era of competition for energy supply in Chicago. The MPEA, a state agency created for the purposes of promoting and operating fair and exposition facilities within the Chicago area (including the McCormick Place exposition center and Navy Pier), voted to accept a third-party proposal to provide district heating and cooling services to the existing McCormick Place facilities and a million square feet of new exposition space. The winning bidder was a joint venture between Trigen Energy, the nation's largest provider of district energy services, and Peoples Gas, the gas distribution company which serves Chicago. This vote culminated two years of effort by the Energy Division of Chicago's Department of Environment to analyze the feasibility and promote the implementation of a district energy system to serve the expanded McCormick Place and its environs in the South Loop neighborhood. Initial services began in November, 1993, with a new hot and cold water piping system interconnecting the three existing exhibition facilities. The final buildout of the system, with a combined peak demand predicted at 160 MMBtu of heating and 15,920 tons of and cooling, is scheduled for completion in the summer of 1997.

Download or read book District Cooling and Heating Development in Stamford CT Final Report written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the development options for introducing district cooling and heating in downtown Stamford, Connecticut. A district energy system as defined for the Stamford project is the production of chilled and hot water at a central energy plant, and its distribution underground to participating building in the vicinity. The objective of the study was to investigate implementation of a district energy system in conjunction with cogeneration as a means to encourage energy conservation and provide the city with an economic development tool. Analysis of the system configuration focused on selecting an arrangement which offered a realistic opportunity for implementation. Three main alternatives were investigated: (1) construction of an 82 MW cogeneration plant and a district heating and cooling system to serve downtown buildings, (2) construction of a small (4 MW) in-fence cogeneration plant combined with cooling and heating, and (3) construction of a district cooling and heating plant to supply selected buildings. Option (1) was determined to be unfeasible at this time due to low electricity prices. The analysis demonstrated that alternatives (2) and (3) were feasible. A number of recommendations are made for detailed cost estimates and ownership, leasing, and financial issues. 12 figs., 10 tabs.

Book excerpt: DISTRICT COOLING: THEORY and PRACTICE provides a unique study of an energy cogeneration system, set up to bring chilled water to buildings (offices, apartment houses, and factories) needing cooling for air conditioning and refrigeration. In winter, the source for the cooling can often be sea water, so it is a cheaper resource than using electricity to run compressors for cooling. The related technology of District Heating has been an established engineering practice for many years, but District Cooling is a relatively new technology now being implemented in various parts of the world, including the USA, Arab Emirates and Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. Existing books in the area are scarce, and do not address many of the crucial issues facing nations with high overall air temperatures, many of which are developing District Cooling plans using sea water. DISTRICT COOLING: THEORY & PRACTICE integrates the theory behind district cooling planning with the practical engineering approaches, so it can serve the policy makers, engineers, and planners whose efforts have to be coordinated and closely managed to make such systems effective and affordable. In times of rising worldwide temperatures, District Cooling is a way to provide needed cooling with energy conservation and sustainability. This book will be the most up-to-date and comprehensive study on the subject, with Case Studies describing real projects in detail.
Download or read book Solved written by David Miller and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2024-03-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If our planet is going to survive the climate crisis, we need to act rapidly. Taking cues from progressive cities around the world, including Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Oslo, Shenzhen, and Sydney, this book is a summons to every city to make small but significant changes that can drastically reduce our carbon footprint. We cannot wait for national governments to agree on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and manage the average temperature rise to within 1.5 degrees. In Solved, David Miller argues that cities are taking action on climate change because they can – and because they must. The updated paperback edition of Solved: How the World’s Great Cities Are Fixing the Climate Crisis demonstrates that the initiatives cities have taken to control the climate crisis can make a real difference in reducing global emissions if implemented worldwide. By chronicling the stories of how cities have taken action to meet and exceed emissions targets laid out in the Paris Agreement, Miller empowers readers to fix the climate crisis. As much a “how to” guide for policymakers as a work for concerned citizens, Solved aims to inspire hope through its clear and factual analysis of what can be done – now, today – to mitigate our harmful emissions and pave the way to a 1.5-degree world.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lansing Board of Water and Light (LBWL) began investigating development of a cooling district in the Lansing Downtown in 1989 in order to retain and build summer load for its steam utility. A feasibility study was conducted in conjunction with SFT, Inc. and ZBA, Inc. which addressed many factors such as marketability of the product, impact on the summer steam load, distribution system development, system design, probable capital and operating costs, reliability and environmental and other regulatory impacts on a preliminary feasibility basis. The Phase I study completed in September of 1989 provided highly promising results for establishing a District Cooling System (DCS). An existing chilled water production facility owned by the State of Michigan was identified as a potential location for a DCS plant. With these changes a review of the feasibility with a new set of alternatives and sensitivities was evaluated. This enhancement to the Phase I Study was nearing completion when the LBWL in conjunction with Energy, Mines and Resources Canada proposed to conduct the Phase II project in conjunction with DOE. The project was structured to proceed along a dual track to demonstrate the impact of the application of various innovative technologies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embracing Sustainable Cooling Solutions In an era where environmental concerns have taken center stage, the need for sustainable practices has become more pressing than ever before. As the global population continues to grow, so does the demand for cooling solutions to combat rising temperatures and provide comfort in various settings. However, traditional cooling methods have often come at a considerable cost to the environment, consuming substantial amounts of energy and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Amidst this challenge, a promising alternative has emerged: district cooling. This innovative approach to cooling not only addresses the environmental impact of traditional cooling systems but also offers numerous benefits in terms of energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and urban planning. The concept of district cooling revolves around the centralized production and distribution of chilled water or air, serving multiple buildings within a given area. Rather than relying on individual cooling units in each building, district cooling utilizes a network of pipes to transport chilled water or air from a central plant to connected buildings, providing a more efficient and sustainable cooling solution. By consolidating the cooling process, district cooling reduces energy consumption, minimizes greenhouse gas emissions, and optimizes the use of resources. This book aims to delve into the world of district cooling, exploring its principles, applications, and transformative potential. Whether you are an engineer, an urban planner, an energy consultant, or simply someone interested in sustainable technologies, this book will serve as a comprehensive guide to understanding the fundamental concepts and practical aspects of district cooling. Throughout these pages, we will explore the key components of district cooling systems, including central plants, distribution networks, and building connections. We will delve into the technical aspects, discussing the various chilling methods, heat rejection techniques, and control systems that optimize the efficiency of district cooling. Furthermore, we will examine case studies from different regions and climates, highlighting successful implementations of district cooling in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. In addition to its environmental benefits, district cooling offers economic advantages. We will explore the financial aspects of district cooling, discussing the cost savings it can generate for building owners and operators. We will also examine the potential for integration with renewable energy sources, such as solar or geothermal, further enhancing the sustainability and resilience of district cooling systems. As we progress through the chapters, it is important to acknowledge that district cooling is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each region and project presents unique challenges and opportunities. Therefore, this book will also address the planning considerations, regulatory frameworks, and implementation strategies needed to successfully deploy district cooling systems. By the end of this book, it is our hope that readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of district cooling and its potential to revolutionize the way we approach cooling in the built environment. We invite you to embark on this journey, exploring the cutting-edge technologies and innovative practices that can shape a more sustainable and comfortable future for our cities. Let us embrace district cooling as a catalyst for change, ushering in an era of sustainable cooling solutions that safeguard our planet for generations to come.
