Hanselman, W G

This project examined the feasibility of reconfiguring the Rochester District Heating System. The methodology consisted of three parts. First, a viable steam system ownership alternative (the Rochester District Heating Cooperative) was identified, characterized, incorporated, and made operational. Second, a technical institutional and financial analysis was conducted of the downtown steam system and several alternative-system configurations were identified. Third, a definitive, well-documented alternative to steam system abandonment was proposed. The Rochester Steam System Assessment was conducted between May 1984 and January 1985. During this period all aspects of steam system revitalization/reconfiguration were evaluated and documented; and the Rochester District Heating Cooperative began the process to acquire and revitalize the downtown Rochester steam system.
