This report assesses the technical and economic feasibility of implementing a hot water district heating system in Springfield, Massachusetts. It provides conceptual designs for power plant modifications and transmission/distribution systems to satisfy a projected heat load. It includes a system implementation plan with equipment installation phases corresponding to projected increases in heat load. It also calculates the financial implications of such a hot water district heating system. This report is volume 4 of a 4 volume research project entitled Design and Analysis of District Heating Systems. Volume 1 summarizes the methodology for assessment of district heating technical and economic feasibility and the results of studies performed for the cities of Lansing, Michigan; Providence, Rhode Island; and Springfield, Massachusetts. Volume 2 presents the site specific results for Lansing, Michigan and volume 3 presents the site specific results for Providence, Rhode Island. 20 figures, 28 tables.
