Potential energy savings in commercial/residential communities based on integrated systems design

;
Integrated Community Energy Systems (ICES) offer the potential of meeting the total energy requirements of communities in an energy-conserving cost-effective manner. This is accomplished mainly by (1) utilizing waste heat from electrical power generation, (2) using solid waste to help meet thermal and fuel energy demands, (3) using solar and other advanced technologies either in a central plant or dispersed in the community, and (4) developing control and operating strategies along with energy-storage technologies to meet community energy needs. In order to explore the potential for such systems, a study was made of a large commercial/residential community currently under developmeent in the Midwest. Results are presented showing the energy savings possible using current, emerging, and advanced energy technologies. Along with the energy savings are estimates of the economic savings that are possible.
