District heating and cooling market potential and penetration methodology. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5504258
This report describes the district heating and cooling (DHC) market potential and penetration methodology development tasks performed under Part I of the project ''District Heating and Cooling Market Potential and Penetration Study'' for the US DOE. Market potential and penetration methodologies were surveyed to identify those suitable for assessing the feasibility of DHC systems in the US, i.e., of translating the characteristics of each system to its market response. Each methodology was evaluated in terms of its level of detail, data requirements, costs, and other factors. A ''preferred'' methodology was developed, and a prognosis for implementing the preferred methodology was made.
