OSTI ID:293338

District heating and cooling/cogeneration (DHC/C) is the distribution of thermal energy from a central facility to multiple end-users in the surrounding area. This assessment evaluates the benefits and costs of DHC/C with and without cogeneration, estimates the New York State potential, and recommends actions to increase DHC/C use in the State. Specific tasks include: (1) Reviewing DHC/C technologies; (2) Quantifying energy, environmental and economic benefits; (3) Estimating the potential for DHC/C development in New York State; (4) Evaluating the role of technology research and development; and (5) Recommending actions to increase DHC/C in New York State.
