SIM List,

                Does anyone have an opinion on whether this document
will help to allow a direct comparison between installing a geothermal
plant rather than connecting to an existing steam plant in a campus
situation (University).`

As I've read it so far this type of comparison is what the document is
intended to address, however upon closer reading the actual energy study
requirements for Step 2 (Aggregate building / DES scenario) energy model
the comparison requires a "virtual on-site hot water / chiller" for the
proposed case model rather than comparing the central plant in the
baseline model to an "as designed" model such as is the case in Step 1.

Any thoughts on this discrepancy?
