District heating and cooling in Provo, Utah. Volume 1. Strategy assessment

Provo, Utah, is one of 28 cities selected by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development to participate in a study of the economic and community-development benefits of implementing a district heating and cooling (DHC) system. A number of DHC options for Provo were studied with the help of the Argonne District Heating Strategy Model. The model was used to analyze demand configuration and supply options. Two economically acceptable DHC systems were recommended for further study in Provo; one is a cogeneration system based on the city's power plant and the other is a noncogeneration system with heat supplied by the heating plant at Brigham Young University, which is located in Provo.
