[Bldg-sim] natural gas for school canteen

[Neeraj Kapoor]

Hello Mr. Passerini,

Not done it yet in a project but seems like process load to me - one that would remain same in both the proposed and baseline.

That said, one could check with the school canteen staff what the rate of consumption is (per child) if the existing school facility does it's cooking on same fuel?!

Or else, if it helps as a wild indicator - here in India, my family of 2 adults and 2 kids (age 6 and 2) consumes roughly 30 kg of LPG (liquified petroleum gas) for 2 months. We cook 1 to 2 times in a day using LPG with bit of reheating /cooking done using the microwave and toaster/ mixer used mostly in the mornings. You will need to look up the calorific value of LPG versus natural gas and run some back-of-the-envelope calculations to extrapolate day-time US school cooking requirements from an Indian household consumption for 3ish-member family for their daily meals over 2 months.

It will be good for you to have a few other reference points. And it'll be good to know what and how you crack it....

best,
Neeraj
