Assessment of district heating and cooling project feasibility in the city of San Jose: Final report, Phase 1
This report presents the results of an investigation to identify and evaluate the feasibility of potential district cooling and heating projects in San Jose, California. Three such candidate projects have been identified with the focus on district cooling: the Thunderbird Golf Course Redevelopment site; an 8-block area of downtown San Jose east and north of the new convention center complex; and a block in the Rincon de Los Esteros District bounded by the Guadelupe River, Trimble Road, Component Drive, and North 1st Street. The downtown San Jose and Thunderbird potential projects consider a new central chiller plant in each case, while the Rincon district system considers the utilization of existing facilities' chilled water plants. The study assesses the potential cooling loads, develops in conceptual form the distribution system and central plant designs and implementation plans, and evaluates the system's economics in each case.
