IMPROVING SUSTAINABILITY OF BUILDING BLOCKS BY AREA-WIDE USE OF DECENTRALIZED ENERGY SYSTEMS

Abstract

To achieve the Kyoto Protocol target, the concept of are-wide energy utilization system is proposed. The key items of which are;
1) Electric and thermal load levelling by block-scale load aggregation
2) Installation of decentralized combined heat and power (DCHP) system
3) Installation of private electric wire and thermal interchange pipelines in the block
Total energy performance are expected to be remarkably improved along with contributing BLCP within the block. Case studies being conducted to some existing blocks in Tokyo are also introduced.
