Title: District heating/cooling assessment for Fort Wayne, Indiana. Final report, 1981-1982

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5414191

The City of Fort Wayne conducted a feasibility assessment of the potential for a district heating and cooling system to service the southern end of the CBD. A complete inventory of potential heat sources (principally industrial) was made, as well as an inventory of concentrated areas of demand for heat. Fort Wayne conditionally determined that it lacked a truly viable source of thermal energy. There were marginal sources including one refinery but the quality of the heat was low. Trash-fired heat was examined but a good, reliable, and sufficiently large source was not identified.
