This document represents the final report of a study performed under contract with the US DOE by the State of Alaska and consultants on energy conservation techniques which were applied to their planning of a new community in the northern climates. The State of Alaska is planning to relocate its capital from Juneau to a site near Willow, Alaska. This Phase II study focused on the implementation of energy conservative systems into the comprehensive community plan for the New Capital City. Phase I primarily dealt with the identificaton of possible technologies and techniques and the methodologies to assess them. In order to impact the planning process, the energy planning team participated in the development of design determinants and guidelines, made energy source recommendations, and revised the state procurement process. Participation in the development of energy evaluation methodologies and criteria, as well as presenting our energy evaluation of the proposed alternative plans to the Planning Commission and general public, was a qualified success. The most important impact to the planning process was to cause the acceptance by the Commission and other consultants of the district heating technology and the expanded mass transportation system. Such energy saving technologies are now a part of the new community plan. Phase II results supported Phase I predictions that incorporation of applicable state-of-the-art technologies could mean a 40% energy savings.
