The District Heating Handbook, 4th Edition
Published 1983, $60 members, $75 personal and non-members
As a design guide for developing district heating and cooling systems, this book answers not only technical
questions, but also considers economic and financial questions. Technical issues covered in-depth include: sources
of energy for DHC systems , including fossil and non-conventional fuels; steam and hot water production; air conditioning
and chilled water; metering systems and district heating service to the user. Institutional and economic issues
discussed include: benefits and barriers; economic and financial management; systems comparison and detection;
and rate principles.
Volume II of the District Heating Handbook: The Handbook of DHC Computer Models
Published 1986, $15.00 members and $30.00 personal and non-members
Provides an introduction to the use of DHC computer models by engineering professionals and energy planners.
The models included in the Handbook specifically address community-scale energy projects which distribute heating
and/or cooling from a central facility to more than one customer. The Handbook is divided into two sections. The
first provides general information on feasibility studies and the use of computer models for assistance. The second
section gives specific information on the various models.
Principles of Economic Heating, 8th Edition
$7.50 members and $15.00 personal and non-members
Originally developed in conjunction with the Building Owners and Managers Association in 1926, this booklet
is designed to help building engineers operate and maintain in building heating and cooling systems connected to
a utility DHC system. This latest edition considers the impact of energy conservation and changes in energy consumption
due to changes in the building envelop and increased machinery.
Unwin Chart
Published 1984, $5.00 members and $10.00 personal and non-members
This fold-out chart provides a graphical solution of Unwin's Formula for pressure drops in pipes transmitting
steam.
Price $25.00 members and $50.00 personal and non-members
A basic introduction to the concept of district heating. It discusses district heating's role in reducing energy
consumption and improving the environment. The production and distribution of thermal energy are discussed in layman's
term, which should be helpful in describing the technology to city planners and public groups.
Steam Distribution System Safety Training Video
Price $1,500 members per program and $1,750 non-members per program, extra sets are $75 each, extra workbooks
are $7.50 each.
The purpose of this video program is to present operation features of the typical "District Heating System"
with special emphasis on hazard and safety procedures. This video program could prevent serious accident, and provides
an education tool on steam safety which is unmatched anywhere. A promotional tape of the video is available at
no cost from IDEA.
