Co-generation system and district heating and cooling system have been applied to urban areas to realize a low-carbon society. However, CO2 emissions from operation division including commercial buildings are still on the increase. Hence researches of micro grid have been conducted as one of the countermeasures to realize a low-carbon society. Here, it seems that the district heating and cooling system is operated effectively under the urban site micro grid network. Thus in this report, a combined system composed of micro grid network and district heating and cooling was investigated to minimize CO2 emissions with a variation of a combination of energy saving systems. The combined system in this study interconnected 3 commercial-scale utility customers with different electric demands and thermal demands. In addition, a conventional energy supply system and district heating and cooling were selected as subjects of comparison with the combined system. Furthermore, 4 kinds of heat-to-power ratio were set by changing the total floor space of each building. In these conditions, annual CO2 emission from each energy supply system was simulated by using a numerical software GAMS/BARON. The calculated CO2 emission was compared with one another in each heat-to-power ratio.
