On September 6, 1988, Baltimore Thermal Energy Corporation (BTEC) received Contract F01-88CE26574 from the US Department of Energy (DOE). This contract in the amount of $54,275 was to conduct a feasibility study of the Baltimore Central Cooling Project (hereafter referred to as the Project). The Project period was from September 6, 1988 to March 5, 1990. This report is submitted under the requirements of this contract. BTEC conducted a study of the feasibility of installing and operating a localized district cooling loop for a specified high density area in downtown Baltimore. This particular project was selected for study because of its high potential for implementation. The Project consisted of four City owned buildings, Provident Bank Building, and Mercy Medical Center; all within a two block area. It is planned that a central cooling plant will be installed in the basement of the City Courthouse East and will distribute cooling water to the other nearby buildings in the project.
