The economic feasibility of supplying thermal energy from a 250 degree F. hot water district heating system to a wide range of building heating distribution types depends in large part on the cost of connecting and converting building heating systems to a hot water supply. This report summarizes a major study of building conversion methods and costs for the central business district of St. Paul, Minnesota performed for the St. Paul District Heating Demonstration Project. It also presents the general characteristics of an economic analysis for a typical building with a current energy source of either steam district heat or natural gas. 4 references, 14 figures, 10 tables.
