Comprehensive areal model of residential heating demands: data and methods, BNL

Conference ·

OSTI ID:6647907

Tessmer, Jr, R G

Data sources and methodology for modeling annual residential heating demands are described. A small areal basis was chosen, census tract and minor civil division, to permit estimation of demand densities and economic evaluation of community district-heating systems. The demand model was specified for the entire nation in order to permit validation against other published fuel-consumption estimates for 1970. A demand projection model was developed to permit comparison of district-heating with conventional-heating systems in future years. NOTE: this document is only a lengthy abstract of the paper presented at the symposium.
