The purpose of this study is to settle the problem of "cooling-heating-electrical load" among many problems of district energy systems. In this study, we establish the load prediction method by estimate and analysis. This paper outlines the running states of the DHC & CGS plants, compares the thermal load unit generally employed at planning/designing stage and the actual cooling load, and analyzes the relationship between the thermal load by time, which is useful in predicting cooling load, and the meteorological factor. Consequently, the analysis shows that cooling load of peak by day and time are forecasted accurately by the discomfort index of peak on the day and the time. It also proves that the cooling load can be estimated more precisely in the case taking the cooling load of an area as an object than that taking the cooling load of individual facilities.
