Title: Modular integrated utility system (MIUS) demonstration project St. Charles, Maryland. Preliminary design. Volume 1: appendices A to E. book 2 of 2. Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5029040

Containing statistical appendices to a first volume, this report provides an energy and financial analysis, an economic analysis, and descriptive schema of the Modular Integrated Utility System (MIUS) project. The MIUS concept, developed by HUD as a response to the energy problem and selected for demonstration in St. Charles, Md., brings together subsystems that service community utility needs and builds them into a master system that offers advantages over conventional utilities. The first appendix uses diagrams and building plans to describe apartments and utilities covered by the MIUS. Secondly, preliminary design schematic drawings for the MIUS plant are presented, and specifications, performance information, and lead times and tests concerning plant machinery are documented. Also, specifications, customer connections, and preliminary reliability assessments for the MIUS plant are described. Biological information and design computations are included in a description of the wastewater management subsystem. Analyses contained in the third appendix include heat loss / heat gain calculations, calculation samples for energy consumption, thermal tracking energy analysis, and detail of plant burden estimates. The financial analyses of the MIUS project consist of conventional utilities cost backup material, revenue support data, operating cost support data, cost of generating 10(6) British thermal units heat output graph, cost of heat generated by incineration, and high temperature absorption chiller economic evaluation. Finally, economic anaylses of computer program documentation, including computer printouts and tap fee credits, are presented.
