- Abstract
- The National Bureau of Standards gathered engineering and economic data from an apartment/commercial complex located on a 6.35 acre (2.6 hectare) site in Jersey City, New Jersey. Economic, reliability and environmental data were also collected and analyzed by NBS in conjunction with an analysis of the engineering data. This report presents an 'Executive Summary' of the final report on the performance analysis of the Jersey City Total Energy Project. The reader is encouraged to refer to that final report for further details. The analysis of the engineering data clearly indicates a significant savings in fuel by using the total energy concept in the plant. Several areas were also identified by this analysis where minor modifications in the plant operation could result in additional fuel savings. Three of the modifications have already been incorporated in the present plant operational procedures.
