A recently approved DOE grant program provides the impetus for cities to assess the potential for using district heating and cooling systems in communities and to enlist local bankers, industrial firms, businesses and utilities in the assessment effort. Projected community benefits under locally owned district heating and cooling systems include enhanced urban development potential, increased job opportunities, stability of energy costs, and maintenance of environmental quality. The district heating and cooling systems will take hot water or steam derived from coal, gas or waste energy from factories, from burning trash and deliver it through a network of underground pipes to heat or cool buildings and supply hot water.
