APPENDIX B Systems in the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore Metropolitan Areas The extent of current district heating and cooling in the United States has not been well documented, especially for institutional systems, which now appear to outnumber the urban ones. The committee, with the assistance of the North American District Heating and Cooling Institute (NADHCI), has assembled a partial list of district heating and cooling systems in the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore metropolitan areas. A total of 160 institutional systems have been identified to date. The list is by no means exhaustive and does not include numerous commercial applications. The number of military installations (22) and college campuses (18) operating district heating and cooling systems is not surprising, confirming some previous surveys. However, the number of residential ] ^~^~ ~ ^= ~ ~7 ~ ~ = ~ - ' ', ,~ than previous estimates have suggested. Likewise, the number of U.S. government buildings served by district heating and cooling systems, including the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and most of the government buildings near the Mall, is surprising. The lists that follow show the range of institutional, residential, and government applications in the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore areas. Similar applications are likely to be found in most U.S. cities. axed servea to / ) IS suostantlallv areater MILITARY U.S. Air Force, Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland U.S. Air Force, Bolling Air Force Base, Washington, D.C.

Used historically in urban areas but now mainly in institutions, district heating and cooling systems—efficient centralized energy systems that may use energy sources other than petroleum—have gained renewed interest. This volume is a nontechnical examination of the history and current extent of district heating and cooling systems in the United States, their costs and benefits, technical requirements, market demand for them, and European experience with such systems, with major focus on the problems of financing, regulation, and taxation. Appendixes provide case studies of cities and towns currently using district heating and cooling systems.
