Gvle Energi AB is aware of the increased demand for renewable energy. For this
reason, a couple of years ago, Gvle started to develop a large cooling network all over
the town. Thus, the aim of this thesis is to analyze the energy system and the economic
aspects of the installation of district cooling for one possible costumer, the city hall of
Gvle.
For carrying out this investigation, first of all a theoretical study is essential. Moreover,
a full description of the building is made. One of the main challenges of the thesis is to
find out the optimal cooling load for the city hall. Due to the fact that some different
ways can be used for calculating the cooling demand, three different methods will be
carried out to have a more realistic result: Estimation of the total cooling demand
considering a constant cooling load per square meter; Determination of the current
cooling capacity of the system; and finally calculating the total cooling demand by IDA
ICE 4.5, a mathematical program which considers several factors that directly affect the
indoor environment. Hence, an optimal cooling load of 450kW is determined. Finally, it
is analyzed the economic and environmental advantages of the investment in district
cooling systems (DCS) in comparison with current water chiller systems (WCS).
The results shows that DCS are a more profitable and environmental solution than
WCS. Not only investing in DCS gives a positive net present value (NPV) in a term of
21 years, they also show that particle emissions from electricity production can be
reduced by 70%.
This way, the installation of district cooling in the city hall of Gvle will provide a
reduction of the annual costs of the building and also it will allow the city to become
more environmental friendly.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1.1 BACKGROUND
Searching for more energy efficient solutions is being one of the main goals of the
current energy market. Companies and customers are attracted for more sustainable
solutions which provide energy and costs savings. The concept of environmentally
friendly energy supply by investing in renewable energy technologies has been gaining
importance in the energy sector since the last two decades1.
The annual worldwide cooling demand is increasing every year and new sustainable
ways to promote sustainable cooling are being researched and new technologies are
being installed. Technologies such as new generation chillers and district cooling are
entering really strong within the cooling market.
This way, there is a high motivation to analyze deep in detail one of the new generation
technologies in order to clarify if its installation provides several advantages to its
customers. For this reason, the aim of this thesis is to analyze the energy system, and the
economic and environmental aspects of district cooling within one building.
Hence, District cooling has to be defined as one cost effective approach to provide
cooling to its customers 2 . Generated by high efficient technologies or provided by
natural sources, a large amount of chilled water is sent to face the necessities of the
customers. Thus, current water chilled systems are completely replaced by heat
exchangers, decreasing the electricity consumption and the annual costs of the
installation3. Basically, district cooling can be understand as a big refrigeration cycle,

whose focuses are from one side the cooling source, and from the other side the indoor
environment of the customers of the system.
This is the direction that Gvle Energi wants to point their energetic future. It wants to
invest in a sustainable way of cooling by creating a district cooling grid, which will
provide everyone with the right of cheap cooling. Hence, this thesis is wants to clarify
to one of Gvle Energis costumer if investing in district cooling is economically
profitable and an environmental friendly system.
1.2 PURPOSE
Since new renewable and more efficient systems are being developed, interesting
researches are being carried out. For this reason, there is a high motivation to research
in one of these new renewable energy systems in order to contribute the scientific world
with another point of view.
The aim of this project consists on making a comparison between the current chilled
water systems and the future district cooling systems. This way, it is willed to determine
if district cooling systems are a more profitable and environmental solution for the
future cooling demand.
1.3 LIMITATIONS
This project is centered on the implementation of district cooling at the city hall of
Gvle. For this reason, the thesis will be only focused on research all factors that
influences this conversion.
2
Finally, an economic study will be carried out with the consideration of the basic
operation energy costs. However, it will not be considered all the operation costs of the
building because of the complexity of the calculations.
1.3 METHOD
Several points have to be analyzed to determine which system is more profitable and
environmental friendly. For this reason, the method of the thesis has to be split up with
two different parts:
Part A
First of all, it is willed to calculate the optimal cooling load for a new cooling system,
which wants to satisfy all the workers of the building whereas the annual costs of the
installation do not highly increase. For determine the cooling demand of the building,
three methods are considered:
i) Estimate the total cooling demand considering a constant cooling load per
square meter.
ii) Determine the current cooling capacity of the system.
iii) Calculating the cooling demand by a mathematical program.

Moreover, in order to choose the optimal cooling demand calculated by these three
methods, two aspects will be considered: annual costs; and productive capacity.
Part B
On the second part, the thesis has to be focused in an economic and environmental
study between these two cooling system. First of all, the aim of the economic study is to
determine which cooling system is more economical profitable. The usage of economic
rates such as net present value and the internal rate of return will be essential.
Furthermore, the environmental study will determine the option that can reduce in a
bigger amount the particles emission.
Finally, it on the last part of the thesis it is willed to determine if investing for district
cooling systems is a profitable and environmental solution.
As explained before, this research has been split up in different steps to make an
extensive study about the pros and cons of district cooling system. All these steps are
summarized and listed below:
1. Part A
- Study of the cooling system of a building in Gvle.
- Calculation of the cooling demand with different methods.
- Computer simulation of the indoor environment.
- Optimization of the cooling system with a water chiller system.
- Optimization of the cooling system with district cooling.
- Design of the new installation of district cooling.
2. Part B
- Economic and environmental study between these two options.
- Choose the optimal system.

CHAPTER 2 DISTRICT COOLING SYSTEM
This chapter explains the main purpose of district cooling systems. For defining this, it
will be explained the main principles of production and distribution. It has to be
explained also the advantages and disadvantages between the current chilling
technologies. Finally, an explanation about the current system in Gvle will be carried
out.
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The investment made by the energy sector for turning towns in to Smart cities has
encourage the cooling market to find more efficient and environmentally friendly
solutions. For this reason, companies have been investing in new chillers technologies
which have reduced the electricity costs by performing the coefficient of performance of
the devices. Nevertheless, the main disadvantage of the current chiller system is the
amount of devices that have to be installed in every building or area. In
contradistinction to this problem, the development of a global water chilled grid that
would replace all these devices was created.
District cooling uses high developed technology for producing, from some sources,
chilled water on a large scale. It can supply, with a big amount of cooled water, areas
and buildings in order to cool them down.
Since 2004, governments have been applying this system for satisfying the demand of
their population and also for investing in a more environmentally friendly system,
which reduces in a highly level the usage of electricity and increases the energy
effectiveness of the cities. In the European city of Paris, it can be found this
effectiveness, where it has been designed the biggest district cooling grid all over the
world. About more than 70 km of pipe network supply a cooling demand of 347 MW5.
Furthermore, Stockholm is planning to build a bigger system.

On the figure 1 it can be seen all the places of all over Europe which have invested in a
district cooling grid6. It can be seen that the Scandinavian market is taking the lead with
49 operating district cooling networks, followed by Germany(28) and Itali(14). Hence,
it is clear to say that this is a market in expansion and in the following years more
countries will invest in this new generation technology.

FIGURE 2: DISTRICT COOLING NETWORK.
Several systems can be used for producing chilled water. This range of systems goes
from natural systems, which use a little portion of energy, to heat sources that use their
residual heat for increasing their systems efficiency.
Natural cooling
The concept refers to the extraction of available cold water. It can be compared to the
use of geothermal energy in district heating systems. The cold water required to cool
down buildings can be found in oceans, lakes or rivers and aquifers. Via heat
exchangers the cold is transferred to the distribution network and delivered to the
customers where the cold is used in the cooling infrastructure of the building. The
maximum cooling temperature delivered to customers can be guaranteed with additional
cold added from different sources. Nevertheless, such a system can be developed when
the water temperature is cold enough and when the plant is close to the buildings where
the water is carried. The advantage of free cooling is that the system is based on
renewable sources.
Cool storage
This cold source is defined as the storage of cooling in big tanks. This cool technology
is an effective way of leveling the electrical loads during the peak periods by increasing
the load during the off-peak periods. In this way, the electric system benefit from a
8
reduction of the peak electricity generation. Hence, the costumers also benefit with
lower electricity bills taking advantage of the lower rates at the off-peak7.
Furthermore, three cool-storage media are commonly in use, including chilled water, ice
and eutectic salt.
- Chilled water
In a chilled water storage system, the cooling capacity depends on the difference
of temperatures across the storage tank. This chilled water can be stored from 4
to 6C on the night. Nevertheless, during the day the water is used for supply the
cooling demand.
- Ice storage
In an ice storage system, water is used as a phase-change storage medium to take
advantage of its higher cooling capacity for the same storage space, known also
as sensible and latent storage.
- Eutectic salts
Eutectic salts are mixtures of inorganic salts, water and nucleating and
stabilizing agents. Like ice storage, the cooling capacity of a eutectic salt system
depends on the latent heat of fusion of the salt and the amount of frozen salt.

efficiency of the plant by using excess heat that is available while displacing less

From some years ago, Gvle has been adapting a policy of centralizing a cooling grid
for satisfy the cooling demand of the habitants of Gvle10.
The construction of a cooling plant and the implementation of part of the piping
network, has transformed in reality the initial idea of a district cooling system at the
city.
Cooling plant
Last years, Gvle Energi finished the construction of the cooling plant for district
cooling. The main porpoise of this plant is to generate cooling and distribute it to the
costumers. It is planned that in the next few years, around 50% of the network will have
been developed. Moreover, the project will totality be finished around 2020-2030, when
all the buildings from the city center will have the
opportunity of being provided with district cooling.

water from the river whose temperature varies from 5C on winter to 20C on summer.
Hence, the river is used as cold focus. Moreover, at the evaporator, the return water
from the network, exchanges its heat with the refrigerant in order to be cool down and
sent again to the network. On this case, the water from the network operates as hot
focus of the refrigeration system.
Furthermore, on the middle of the schema it can be found the absorption chillers. These
chillers are based on a single stage 11(Absorption chillers can be based on a single or
two stages cycle, depending on the refrigerants piping circuit) with a cooling capacity
11

http://www.dalkia.com.au/tr_refrigeration.htm. Accessed June 2013.
13
that varies from 728kW to 3200kW each chiller. The water chillers are in charge of
exchanging heat between the water from the river and the return water from the network
by the usage of the explained refrigeration cycle. Their coefficient of performance
varies from 0.7 to 0.8, which means that the chiller produces 0.7 or 0.8 kW of cooling
for every kW of both electricity and water from the river. To sum up, it can be seen that
absorption chillers have not a high coefficient of performance. However, their
electricity usage is very low because they only need electricity for running the pumps.
Hence, the current total cooling capacity of the plant rises up to 2.55MW. Furthermore,
Gvle Energi AB is planning to increase their cooling capacity up to 9.678 MW
between 2020 and 2030.
Lastly, the chilled water, outgoing form the chillers, goes to the right side of the
schema. There, the water is propelled to the network by two big pumps located in
parallel. This water will arrive to every building of the city provided with district
cooling. Moreover, the outgoing and return water have an average temperature of 5.5C
and 13C respectively.
Nevertheless, on the winter, the cooling plant operates different as in the summer.
Because of a lower cooling demand and a lower temperature of the river, the cooling
plat uses a heat exchanger instead of the absorption chillers. The incoming water from
the river exchange the heat with the return water from the network by a big heat
exchanger located in the plant. Hence, there is a big electricity reduction during winter,
which means that the system only uses the demanded electricity from the pumps.
The cooling plant is located next to the river Gavlen on the side of the district of
Bryns.
Grid
The district coolings grid starts at the cooling plant, where one pipe of 400mm of
diameter is sunk within the river. The pipe goes up to the city center under the water.
Thus, the pipe has not to be insulated because of the low temperature of the river. There
some branches spread over the city center for providing all the houses with district
cooling. On the picture below, it can be seen the future grid for the district cooling.

Cooling demand
At the last figure, it is also shown an schema of the future district cooling grid in Gvle.
There are also shown the approximate cooling demands of all the buildings connected to
the district coolings network, from where a total cooling demand of the city can be
calculated. This way, for the next 20 years, Gvle will have an approximate cooling
demand of 12.37 MW.

CHAPTER 3 - STADSHUS
Introduction
This Project is carried out at the city hall of Gvle, Stadshus in Swedish. It is the
headquarter of Gvle Stadshus AB, one company owned by the municipally of Gvle,
Gvle Kommun AB.
The Stadshus is in charge of some part of the administration of the Gvle Kommuns
companies12. Moreover, once per month, the City Council13 meets at the auditory of the
Stadshus, where politicians from every elected party approve their decisions.
current building, whose entrance is FIGURE 7: VIEW OF GVLES CITY HALL FROM THE NORTH
AND WEST FACADE.
situated at the north face of the
building.
Recently, Energitjnstefretaget TAC has been certified the city hall as a Green
building. It was decided by the European Commissions energy department based on a
30% energy savings that the building has carried out. These energy savings were not
only produced by technical changes, since there has been a big afford by the City halls
personal with a more environmental and economic behavior.
12
Gvle Kommun owns a serial of companies, for instance, Gvle Energi AB or Gavlegrdarna AB. More
information about the Gvle Kommun structure and administration can be found at www.gavle.se.
13
The City Council are a group of 65 members elected in general elections from the main political
parties of the city (Social democrats, moderates or Green party, for instance).
17
There building is owned by Gvle Fastigheter14, which is the company in charge of the
maintenance of the electric system, heating system, cooling system and ventilation
system. Moreover, the technical measures implemented by Gvle Fastigheter made
possible that the city hall was defined as a green building.
Location
The Stadshus is placed at the city center of the village of Gvle 15 . Particularly at
Drottninggatan 22, 80311 Gvle. Moreover, on the following figure it can be seen that
the plot of the building is delimitated by Norra Rdmansgatan, Drottninggatan, Norra
Kpmangatan and Kyrkogatan.
FIGURE 8: BLUEPRINT OF THE CITY CENTER OF GVLE. THE POINT A INDICATE THE
SITUATION OF THE CITY HALL
This building is situated at the latitude 60.7 and altitude of 17.1, with a considered
elevation of 0 meters. Moreover, the building structure is orientated 62.25 between the
west facade and the horizon.
14
Gvle Fastigheter is a company owned by Gvle Kommun, in charge of maintain the buildings the
municipality.
15
Gvle is a city in Sweden. It is the capital of Gvlegorg Country and it is also the oldest city of the
historical Norrland. It is situated at the Middle East coast of Sweden and it has approximately 70000
habitants. Gavlen is the river that flows through the city from west to east.
18
Architecture of the building
The building is divided in 5 parts, therefore, as mentioned before, the main structure of
the building was constructed on the 18th century and other body buildings has been
added. For these reason, the main facades of the building still conserves the 18th
centurys style and also the new parts has been constructed respecting this style.
It is one of the most important parts of the building because it has the auditory room (2nd
floor), and it has also a restaurant just next to the auditory room. There are two dressing
shops at the ground level, whose entrances are at the north face.
HUS B. This is the other old part of the building. It consists in 3 floors, one basement
and the penthouse, as well as the part A. It has two facades: one at the north side and
other at the west side. It has to be said that the tourist information of the city occupy the
basement and the ground floor of the building and its entrance is located at the outdoor
corner of the Hus B.
HUS C. This part of the building was constructed afterwards. It can be appreciated
from inside when one is at the basement because the structure of the walls and columns
is completely different than the other two parts. It has 3 floors, one basement and the
penthouse. Its facades point the west and the south side.
19
Within this part, there are offices, a printer shop and it contains the heating, cooling and
electric system of all the building at the basement.
HUS D. Together with the HUS E, they are the newest parts of the building. There
were built on the end of the 70s. This building consists in a 4 floors building (entrance,
1st floor, 2nd floor and 3rd floor), one basement and its respective penthouse. However,
the height of this part is the same as the HUS A, because of the lower height of every
floor of the HUS D. On the picture below, it can be appreciate the differences between
the HUS A and D. At the left side of the picture it can be found is the HUS D and on the
right side, the HUS A.
Moreover, there are two facades, one at the east side and the other, as well as the HUS
C, at the south side. On the basement it is located all the documentation owned by the
Stadshus.
HUS E. It corresponds to the entrance of the building. It consists in one extra building
of just only one floor, without basement and penthouse. This part is situated between
the HUS A, B and C, that is why its facade is just pointing to the south.
The Heat Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) of the building uses several air
handling units for providing with the enough air flow the rooms of the entire building.
20
The system is based on two water chillers, located at the basement of the Hus C, and
three air condition units at the print shop at Hus C.
At the following figure it can be seen the cooling room where the machine is working. It
consists in a room of 30 m which has a high air exchange rate in order to remove all the
heat emitted by the compressors during the performance.
The maximum power of the installation is 170KW when the two compressors of the
water chiller are full operating. Nevertheless, when the cooling demand of the building
is low, only one of the compressors is working.
Moreover, the electricity use of the device has been determined by the product between
the voltage and the intensity of the electricity. The two compressors are connected to a
3-phase network of 400V. Furthermore, there are two intensity sensors, for every
21
compressor, which show the current intensity of the machines. In order to have a correct
electrical intensity, a measure has to be taken at the steady state because of the high
intensity when the compressor is working out of the steady state. This measure is
around 50 amperes per compressor.
Below this paragraph, the equation is shown for calculating the electrical power of the
two compressors. Moreover, it has also been calculated the electrical power of these
cases:
[VAr]
Data:
V = 400V; I = 50 A ; Number of units = 2; 16.
The coefficient of performance of the System is defined as the ratio of useful energy (in
this case cooling capacity of the water chiller) to the rated output power of the
compressors 17 . After having calculated the electricity power of the compressors, the
following procedure is to calculate the coefficient of performance for the water chiller:
With this result, it can be said that for every kilowatt of electricity used by the
compressors, the cooling machine is able to chill the incoming water from the
ventilation system with 4.25 kilowatts.
22
Secondary water chiller
This water chiller was added after the installation of the primary water chiller. Because
of the high temperatures that the Hus E and the calling office were reaching, a solution
had to be found. That is why the city hall opted for the installation of a small cooling
system. This system was installed also at the basement of the Hus C.
The cooling device is cooling water and brings it to two cooling coils located at both
sides of the reception and another one at the calling office. This cooling machine is
operating the whole year, as the heat emitted from the computers at the calling center is
really high, even in winter time.
The system is shown on the next two figures. Figure 13 shows the cooling machine
located in the basement. It consists of a small refrigeration system that exchanges heat
between the incoming water stream from the air cooled-condenser (figure 12) and the
chilled incoming water from the cooling coils of the reception.
23
After having the electricity power of the compressors the coefficient of performance for
the water chiller has to be calculated:
In this case, it can be said that for every kilowatt of electricity used by the compressors,
the cooling machine is able to chill the incoming water from the cooling coils with 5.36
kilowatts.
It has to be mentioned that a cooling capacity of 1 kilowatt for every air conditioner of
the room is assumed, as well as a coefficient of performance of 3 kW of cooling per
every kW of electrical power. For these reason, the total cooling capacity of the extra air
conditioners is 4kW with a coefficient of performance of 3.
24
Total coefficient of performance of the building
From the last chapters the total cooling capacity of the building and the electrical power
can be calculated:
25
The air handling units are:
- TA1
This first air handling unit (AHU) is in charge of ventilating the printing shop
and the offices located at the east and west facades of the building18. The air
handling unit is located at the penthouse of the Hus C. The cooling coil of the air
handling unit cools the incoming air down to 18C, and then it is propelled to the
rooms.
In order to decrease the costs of the building, the air handling unit is also
operating at the night. It takes the outside air, when it is between 4 and 18
degrees. That means the air handling unit does not need the incoming cooling
from the water chiller and provides the room with free cooling so that the rooms
are cooled down.
- TA2
This second AHU ventilates the mechanical room 19 and the primary chiller
room. It consists of two big ducts that propel a big amount of air to have big air
change rates. The supply air temperature is regulated by a thermal sensor, which
allows the air handling unit to regulate the air between 10 and 25 degrees.
- TA3
This AHU is in charge of refreshing the conference rooms and some offices
from the Hus B. The incoming air flows through the air handling and it reaches
a temperature around 20C.
Moreover, there is also night cooling at this unit. When night temperatures reach
2C below the indoor temperature, the system is activated and it puts fresh
outdoor air within the rooms. So that, this sector of the building is covered with
free cooling. This night cooling is intermittent operating from 00:00 to 02:00.
18
See the appendix for the air handling unit schemas.
19
At the mechanical room there are the connections with the district heating and the secondary water
chiller.
26
- TA4
The fourth AHU supplies all the rooms located at the north and south faces of
the building. As well as the air handling unit TA1, this AHU is working with a
supply air of 18C when cooling is required at the ventilation system.
Furthermore, this AHU is also working at night. It provides the building with
fresh air when the outdoor temperature is below 18C and also when it is not
lower than 4 C.
- TA5
This fifth AHU is in charge of providing supplied air to the shops and the tourist
information that can be found at the ground level of the building. This device has
the same air supply temperature as TA1 and TA4.
As well as TA1 and TA4, it is also working at night with the same temperature
setting.
- TA6
This is the AHU in charge of the auditorium, the restaurant and some special
rooms of the 3rd floor. It is located at the penthouse of the building A, where it
takes, cools and propels the outside air to the rooms. This ventilation system has
to supply big amounts of cooling. Due to this the supply air temperature is lower
than the other AHUs, with a temperature of 15C.
- TA8
This is the last AHU that can be found at the building20. It is responsible for the
ventilation of all the rooms of the Hus D. For this reason, this unit is also located
20
In the picture 15 it is described a unit called TA7. Nevertheless, this is not considered as an air
handling unit because it is a heat pump.
27
at the penthouse of the Hus D. This device has also the same air supply
temperature as TA1, TA4 and TA5.
As well as TA1, TA4 and TA5, it is also working at night with the same
temperature setting. It supplies the rooms when the outside air is between 4C
and 18C.
The next step of the project is calculating the cooling peak load and the annual energy
requirements of the building. The cooling peak load is defined as the maximum cool
power required by a system in unsteady state conditions 21, as the peak cooling load
occurs during the day due to the solar radiation and the weather conditions22. Moreover
the annual energy requirement is the total amount of energy needed by the system in
order to satisfy the cooling demand during the year.
To establish an accurate cooling load of the building, three different methods can be
applied. It has to be mentioned that the more information are provided by the system,
the more accurate and less theoretical the peak cooling load will be. The three
calculation methods are specified in the following parts:
1) Usage of watts per square meter based on the climatic conditions of the area and
the building type.
2) Determination of the buildings current installed chiller capacity.
3) Heat gain and cooling load calculation by mathematical programs.
For calculating the cooling peak load the following procedure has to be followed:
21

Agency district heating and cooling, Pages 10-50, Canada & UK, 2001.
22
Bhatia, A., Cooling load calculations and principles, Continuing Education and Development, Inc. New
York, 2001.
28
2) Determination of the desired watts per square meter.
3) Calculation of the peak cooling load.
Area building
This step of the procedure has to be done accurate that the results are as exact as
possible. Thus, an accurate measurement of the blueprints of the city hall is necessary. It
is considered that all the space of the building is ventilated by the AHUs. That is why
the area of every room and corridor has to be calculated. Also it has to be said that the
thickness of walls is not considered due to the fact that the total area of the building is
much bigger than the total area occupied by the walls.
Hence, in the next table it can be seen the total area of every floor of the city hall23:
23
See the appendix IV for the calculations.
29
Hence, in Sweden the cooling
demand is compressed between 40
W/m and 70 W/m. In this case an
intermediate value between this
range, 50 Watts/m was considered.
Cooling demand
In this final step of the procedure, a
simple equation has to be done in
order to calculate the total cooling
load of every floor:
In the next table the obtained results of the calculation are shown:
Plant 1 95.75
Plant 2 86.47
Plant 3 86.47
Penthouse 18.73
Electricity demand
Furthermore the electricity demand required for a cooling load of 447.28kW has to be
calculated. Considering a normal coefficient of performance of 3 kW of cooling per
every kW of electricity, it can be calculated the electricity power:
30
As explained before, the cooling load of the chiller system is shown in the next table:
There are some mathematical programs that follow a thermal model to calculate the
cooling demand. Firstly, these programs calculate the heat gain of the system and then,
using an operation factor, they determine the total cooling load of the building.
Before making a calculation with this option, the advantages and disadvantages of this
option have to be analyzed. They are shown in the next table:

problems
Thus, for this project a good option is calculating the cooling load using a mathematical
program. Hence, the mathematical program IDA ICE 4.5 is used.
In the following chapter this program is explained in more detail and the procedure
followed for calculating the cooling load and the energy distribution of the building.

CHAPTER 4 IDA ICE MODEL
Ida Ice 4.5 is defined as a simulation program for the indoor environment and the
energy usage 24 . It allows defining a building and consequently it simulates the
performance of the heating and cooling system due to the heat gain and heat transferred.
Because of the decision to use this program the performance of the cooling demand of
the city hall during the summertime has to be calculated.
In order to explain all the process followed for creating the model and its simulation,
this chapter has been divided in some subchapters, depending on the steps followed
within IDA ICE. These ones are:

solutions.co.uk. Accessed May 2013.
33
Furthermore, in order to create the model all the measures and information from
blueprints of the city hall have been taken, proportionated by Gvle Fastigheter.
Moreover, some data has been obtained by examining the entire building.
Location
The simulation is taking part at the city hall of Gvle. As shown in figure 17, the
latitudes and longitudes are 60.7 North and 17.1 East respectively. Due to the fact that
Gvle is located on the coast of Sweden it has been considered an elevation of the
building of 0 meters with respect to the sea. Moreover, it has to be assigned the time
zone of the area. Hence, Gvle has a time zone of +01:00 hours with respect to the
Greenwich meridian25.
Climate
The climate conditions are one of the most important parts to define with IDA ICE. This
condition allows the program to make a real simulation of the surrounding environment
25
At IDA, the time zone is expressed in east or west with respect to the Greenwich meridian. That is why
it is written 1 E, that means 1 hour at the east part.
34
for every hour of the year. Therefore, this variable has to be defined as accurate as
possible in order to have simulated a real period of time with the program.
The main variables that have to be collected are: Dry-Bulb temperature; relative
humidity of the environment; wind direction; speed of the wind; direct normal radiation,
and diffuse radiation26.
Moreover, all these data has to be taken at the same period of time. The Swedish
Meteorological and Hydrological Institute was the provider of some of this data. The
monthly reports from 2010 have been provided, where the Dry-Bulb temperature,
relative humidity, the wind direction, the speed of the wind and the direct normal
radiation is expressed. In order to obtain the last variable, the diffuse radiation, an
algorithm has to be calculated, which considers the direct normal radiation and the
azimuth angle of Gvle27. In figure 18 the Dry-Bulb temperature of 2010 in Gvle is
expressed.
Table 8 shows a report of the climate variables per month. Here the summertime period
and the winter time are clearly defined. Therefore the cooling demand simulation will
be carried out from May till September.
26
These variables are expressed per hour.
27
See the appendix VI for the azimuth calculations.

Thus, in figure 19, the perimeter of the building is shown. It can also be seen the points
which define the perimeter of the building. Five body buildings have been defined
because of the geometric of the city hall. Moreover, the table below shows the
coordinates of every point of the perimeter. It has to be said that the perimeter of
buildings A, B, C, and D are found at 3 meters below the ground level. Nevertheless,
the perimeter of building E is found at 0 meters above the ground level.

Furthermore, the height of all the body building parts has to be defined. Hence, in order
to define the final outline, the coordinates of the roof have to be specified and the roof
surfaces have to be created. Figure 20 shows all coordinates of the different points29.
Moreover, the roof surfaces can only be defined as flat surfaces.
29
The figure shows the coordinates of the different points of the body parts A, B, C and D. There are not
shown the coordinates from the building E because it has been considered a flat roof.

4.1.4 WALLS, CEILINGS, ROOFS, DOORS AND WINDOWS
The next step for building the model is defining the walls, doors, windows and furniture
composition so that the program can calculate the U-value of every part of the building.
As explained before, IDA ICEs simulation is based on an energy balance all over the
building. That is why the obtaining of U-Values is a very important step to calculate the
heat gains and consequently cooling demand.
In table 11 below, the compositions, the thickness and the U-Value of the walls, doors,
windows, floors, roofs, ground and furniture are shown. IDA ICE has calculates
automatically the U-Value31 from the equation of energy balance32 also shown below:

TABLE 11: COMPOSITION OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF WALLS, FLOORS, ROOFS, DOORS, WINDOWS,
GROUND AND FURNITURE FOUND IN THE BUILDING.
This next step consists on the constructive part of the model. All rooms have to be
defined and connected with the surrounding by the usage of the properties mentioned
before. Hence, at this step of the modeling, all types of wall, ceiling and roof have to be
used. Moreover the height of every floor has to be defined. It has to be said that some
assumptions has been taken:
The toilet areas have been considered as a unique room because of their activity
level.
The elevators space has been considered as part of the corridors.
The stairs space has also been considered as part of the corridors of every floor.
In the following image, it is shown the 3rd floor of the buildings. It can be appreciated
the different thicknesses of the walls, and also of the ceiling.
42
FIGURE 22: SECTION OF THE 3RD FLOOR OF THE MODEL
The rooms have been named corresponding to its location of the building. Hence, the
nomenclature of the rooms is X.X.X where the first digit corresponds the building, the
second digit corresponds the floor and the third digit corresponds the number of rooms.
For instance, the name of the tourist office room is B.1.1. In the table below it is shown

TABLE 12: LIST OF ALL THE ROOMS OF THE MODEL.
At this step of the modeling, the doors and windows of the building have to be
calculated. It is really important to calculate the geometry of the windows, as the solar
radiation is entering through them into the building. Moreover, the heat exchanged
through the windows supposes a higher value than through the walls. That is why it has
to be detailed and very accurate. Hence, some geometries have been implemented to the
model:
- 1.2x2.8 m
- 1.75x3.75m
- 0.75x2m
- 1.2x1.5m
- 1.2x2m
Moreover, it has been defined one schedule for the doors of the building. They are
following the schedule explained in chapter 4.1.10.
In figure 23 it can be seen a 3D view of the building with all rooms, windows and
doors.
44
FIGURE 23: 3D VIEW OF THE MODEL.
IDA ICE considers on its models the heat gain produced by people, lighting and
equipment. Hence, it introduces on its model these variables in order to estimate more
accurately the total heat gaining of the building. Thus, an important step on the
modeling is defining all this variables for every room of the building. Therefore, the
building had to be inspected in order to carry out a list of people, lighting and
equipment of the building33.
People
Depending on the amount of people per room, more heat is emitted to the environment.
Due to this the number of people per zone is an important variable to take into account
because of the different distributions of workers in the whole building. Moreover, the
activity levels and the amount of clothing, defines how much heat (sensible and latent)
and carbon dioxide a person emits. It has been considered that the main activity level of
the workers is 1 met34. It corresponds to 58.2 W per m2 of body surface, which is the
amount, one sitting, inactive person is assumed to emit. In IDA Indoor Climate and
Energy, body surface have been selected to be 1.8 m2, corresponding to an average
33
See the appendix VIII for the building equipment, lighting and people.
34
Consideration taken from IDA ICE
45
adult. Moreover, another consideration that has to be taken into account are the
operation hours of the building, as there will be no heat gained by the people during the
non- operation hours. This will be explained later.
Lighting
Another focus of heat gaining is the lighting of the rooms. The total number of bulbs
and fluorescents that every room has, has to be taken into account as well, because of
different distributions of heat gaining at the building. For instance, the auditorium of the
building has a big amount of lighting. Therefore, the heat gained by the auditorium has
a different distribution than other rooms with less lighting.
- There are only two kinds of lighting units, light bulbs with an electrical power of
60W and fluorescents with an electrical power of 35W.
- The convective fraction35 of every unit is 0.3.
Nevertheless, there is another variable that has to be considered, the schedule of the
lighting. This will be explained later more in detail.
Equipment
As well as the lighting, the heat emitted to the environment has another emitter: The
equipment. For instance, one calling room with a big amount of computers will gain
more heat than other kinds of rooms. That is why this is one of the most important
emitters of heat gaining. This is the case of the city hall, which has a calling center with
an independent ventilation system because of the emitted heat by the computers. That is
why there has to be one independent cooling system, running all over the year in order
to satisfy the comfort of the workers.
35
Fraction of rated input emitted as convective heat. (0-1)
46
- The heat emitted by computers, televisions, printers and other office equipment
has been considered 60W per unit.
- It has been considered a thermal efficiency of 90% for especial equipment as
water pumps, chillers and other industrial equipment. That means that 10% of
the electrical power is converted to heat power.
Nevertheless, there is also another variable that has to be considered: The schedule of
the equipment. This will be further explained in another chapter.
Room units
A room unit is defined the device that supplies the room of the model with warm or cold
air36. In this model, all the rooms have been equipped with ideal coolers.
The ideal cooler is a room unit that cools the zone when no detailed information about
an actual room unit
is available or this amount of detail is unmotivated, such as a fan coil or active chilled
beam. It has no given physical location on any room surface and is not connected to the
plant of the building 37 . Hence, the incoming air from the air handling units flows
through the room units to cool down or warm up the indoor environment.

Moreover, it has to be introduced the current air change rates of all the rooms of the
building into the model. The data has been collected from the blueprints of the building,
where the air flow of almost all the rooms is shown 39 . Nevertheless, it has been
considered for all the rooms without an air flow value shown on the blueprints, a
standard ACH40. In the next table, some air supply rates are shown:

TABLE 13: SUPPLY AND RETURN AIR RATES FOR SOME ROOMS OF THE BUILDING
In table 13 two different methods to calculate the final value of air supply flow in
[L/sm]41 can be seen. The first four rows of the table have been calculated from a
standard air change rate. So that, this rate has been converted to the required air supply
rate with the following equation:
Moreover, the other rows have been calculated from the data taken from the blueprints.
Hence, these other values have been converted also the required air supply rate with the
following equation:

IDA ICE need the air supply rate in L/sm.
48
Finally, it can also be seen in the table that the return air rates of the building have been
considered the same as the calculated air supply rates.
A building model consists of a single or several thermal zones, a single or several air
handling units and a single primary system. The primary system, also called plant,
provides the rooms or the air handling units with cold or warm water produced by the
chiller or the boiler.
IDA ICE defines a default primary system and an air handling unit when a model is
created. However some values can be changed in order to simulate the desired
ventilation system. Nevertheless, the default system has to be explained because some
considerations have been taken from the default model.
The default systems have unlimited capacity for providing the zones with air and water
at given temperatures. By default, the supply air temperature is kept constant at 17C;
the chilled water temperature to zones is 15 C and the heated water temperature is a
function of the outdoor air temperature. For many studies nothing needs to be altered in
the HVAC systems.
In the next paragraphs the air handling unit system and also the primary system used
will be explained more in detail.
1) AHU Stadshus
2) AHU Parliament
49
3) AHU Shops
Every air handling unit has the same basic properties. Nevertheless, the only thing that
they do not have in common is the operation time of the air pumps. That is why these
three systems are running with different schedules for the air pumps.
In the next paragraphs the basic properties that all the air handling units of the model
have in common will be explained:
The standard air handling unit is based on a system that contains: one air pump for the
supply air, one air pump for the return air, one cooling coil, one heating coil and one
heat exchanger. In figure 24 all these devices that compound the AHU can be seen.
50
considered that the heating coils are not running in the whole simulation,
because it is willed to be analyzed only the cooling demand of the building.
Moreover, the current AHU of the city hall operates for maintaining a constant
air supply temperature of 18C by the usage of cooling and heating coils.
Nevertheless, in order to save some energy, the system is set up for supplying air
at the ambient temperature when it is lower than 18C and higher than 4C.
Hence, one supply air temperature model has to be introduced to the program to
simulate this performance of the system. This model is shown in figure 25:
Thus, this model explains when the cooling coil of the AHU will remove heat
from the air or when it will not run. When the ambient temperature is lower than
18C, the AHU will supply the rooms with the incoming air without being
cooled down by the cooling coils. However, there is a boundary value for this
action, when the temperature is lower than 4C. Then, the supply air is set up to
18 degrees. It has to be said that this is a boundary value because these
temperatures are not reached in summer time. Moreover, when the ambient
temperature is higher than 18C the cooling coil will start running and it will
cool down the incoming air to 18C.
51
2) Cooling coil
The cooling coil is in charge of cooling down the incoming air by the heat
exchanged with the chilled water incoming from the plant. The incoming chilled
water, at 5C, removes some parts of the heat from the incoming air. Hence, at
the end of the process, the outgoing chilled water temperature warms up to 10C.
As explained before, the cooling coil starts running when the system detects that
the temperature of the ambient is higher than 18C. Then, the system starts to
remove heat. Moreover it has been supposed an air side effectiveness of 1,
therefore, it can be said that it is considered a thermal efficiency in the cooling
coil of 100%.
It has also been considered that the incoming and outgoing airs temperature
does not change during the propulsion. Therefore the temperatures remain on a
steady state. Moreover it has been taken 60% efficiency for all the pumps of the
air handling units.
42
It is considered as the efficiency of the device. In order to turn them off it has to be considered an
efficiency of zero.
52
5) Fan schedule
The schedule of the fans will be also explained in chapter 4.1.10.
The chiller of the plant is represented in the figure below with a blue tank connected
with blue pipes that go to the air handling units or to the zones. It is considered that this
water chiller has a coefficient of performance of 4.27 and an unlimited cooling capacity,
in order to calculate the ideal cooling demand of the building. Moreover the water
chiller supplies with chilled water at 5C the air handlings units, and returns to the
chiller at 10C.
4.1.10 SCHEDULES
The schedule is defined as the agent that regulates the operation time of all the variables
of the model43. There are different schedules for every variable: Four schedules for the
43

Solna. February 2013.
53
people, lighting, equipment and doors; three other schedules for the AHUs; and one for
the Chiller of the plant.
The schedules are expressed with time charts, where the abscissa corresponds to the
daily hours and the ordinate corresponds to a binary value44. When the binary variable is
1, the models variables are considered as operating. Otherwise, if the binary variable is
0, the model variables are considered as not operating.
1) Never present
The variable is not operating at any time of the simulation. That is why the
binary variable is considered 0 from Monday to Saturday for all the weeks of the
year. Figure 27 shows this schedule.
44
The binary value can be 0 or 1, depending on the Schedule followed by the variables.
54
FIGURE 28: OPERATION HOURS STADSHUS SCHEDULE
55
4) Operation Hours Parliament
This schedule represents the operation hours of the auditorium and some rooms
at the surrounding of the auditorium. As shown on the webpage of Gvle
Kommun, it can be seen the meeting days all over the year. It has been
considered that the meetings have been produced the first Monday of every
month, except July and August, when there are no meetings. The operation hours
of the meetings are from 9am to 5 pm. In figure 30 it can be seen the days of the
year when the meetings have been considered.
In summertime the air temperature at night is much lower than during the day. For this
reason, the air handling units of the city hall are also running during the night in order to
supply all rooms that have been warming up the building during the day with free
cooled air. That is why with this method, the building reduces the energy usage of the
chiller.
56
1) AHU Stadshus
This schedule follows the same pattern than the operation hours or the stadhus.
However, the ventilation system is initialized one hour before the operation time
of the building and is switching down one hour after this. Moreover, as said
before, at night the AHU is working from 0 am to 4 am.
2) AHU Shops
This AHUs schedule follows the same pattern as the AHU stadhus schedule. It
starts running one hour before and it is switched down one hour after the
operation hours of the building. As well as before, the system is also working at
the night from 0am to 4am.
57
FIGURE 32: AHU SHOPS SCHEDULE.
3) AHU Parliament
The AHU of the parliament is operating one hour before and one hour after the
operation hours of the zones. Moreover, during the night of the meeting days,
the system is also operating from 0 am to 4am.
58
FIGURE 34: ALWAYS ONES SCHEDULE.
One important characteristic of the model is the orientation and the surrounding
shadings of the building. Depending in these two variables, the building will be warmed
up completely different because of the solar radiation. For this reason, these two
variables have to be correctly defined in order to consider the best solar trajectory which
will determine the shading of the surrounding building and the solar radiation direction.
Orientation
The orientation of the building is defined as the angle
between the north direction and the direction of the east
facade of the building. On this model it has been
considered an orientation of 27.75. Picture 35, shows the
orientation of the building.
Shadings
The shadings of the model are defined by the surrounded building. The nearest facades
of the surrounded building have to be defined in order to create a model of the shadows
during all the days of the simulation.
5 surrounding buildings have been defined. Two buildings are located at the north
facade with a height of 15 meters. Another one is located at the west facade with a
mixed height of 15 and 10 meters. Finally two other buildings have been located at the
south facade of the building. These two have a total height of 15 meters. In the picture
below, it can be seen a performance of the shadows at one hour of the simulation where
it can be appreciated the effect of the surrounded buildings to the city hall.
59
FIGURE 36: SHADOW PERFORMANCE AT ONE HOUR OF THE SIMULATION.
Other properties have to be considered at the model in order to simulate a better model
that reflexes more the real building. For these reason, properties as thermal bridges and
set points of the rooms have to be mentioned.
Set points
The set points of the rooms are defined as value
when the heating or cooling devices are operating.
In picture 37 it can be seen this performance. When
the indoor temperature is between the two boundary
values, heating and cooling devices are not

Thermal Bridges
These coefficients are used to calculate the loss
factors in thermal bridges in zones. The total loss
factor for a zone is calculated as sum of loss factors in
bridges created by different construction elements.
The coefficients are given per unit of element size (in
most cases per meter).
4.1.13 SIMULATION
IDA ICE is creating a mathematical model for calculating all the energy usage and the
cooling and heating demands. As explained in this chapter, it all this input data has to be
introduced in order to define the model the best possible way. In the next table it can be
seen a summary of the input data that has been explained during chapter 4:
61
TABLE 14: SUMMARIZE OF THE INPUT DATA OF THE IDA ICE MODEL.
Moreover, before simulating the time period of the simulation has to be defined. As
explained before, the simulation will take part during summertime. In wintertime the
water chiller is not running because of the minimum cooling demand, that is why it has
been considered that all the cooling
demand is negligible during winter.
Hence, to determine the period of the
simulation, the period of time when the
ambient temperature is higher than the set
point temperature of the air handling units
has to be taken into account. Thus, all the
period of time that the temperature of the
4.1.14 RESULTS
IDA ICE offers a lot of options for having some different results. It can calculate from
cooling and heating demand to Fangers comfort chards or lost work of the system.
Nevertheless, in this project it will be considered:
- Cooling demand
- Outdoor, indoor and supply/return air temperatures.
- Fangers comfort indices;
- Delivered energy of the system;
- Systems energy;
- Energy balances.
With all this information explained in this chapter, one IDA model can be executed and
the desired results can be obtained. Nevertheless, it has to be said that there are more
variables that has not been considered in this model of the city hall. For instance,
ground properties, infiltrations, pressure coefficients and extra energy losses.
In this part, all the assumptions and Hypotheses that have been considered in order to
build the model are summarized. It has to be said how less assumptions and hypotheses
are made in a model, more real values will be obtained. Hence, despite all the
considered variables, the model will not be the same as the reality, and there will be a
fluctuation of the results compared to the reality.
63
- Weather: The data was provided by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrogical
Institute (SMHI). Some reports have been collected with the temperatures, wind
speed, wind direction and humidity of Gvle in 2010. The measures have been
taken every 3 hours. This is why it has been considered that these properties are
constant every 3 hours.

- Simulation:
The simulation is carried out from the 1st of May to the 31st of September due to
the fact that the temperatures from the other month are not higher than 20
degrees. That is why it has been analyzed only the months where the
temperature is higher than 20 degrees therefore the cooling coils are activated
when the inside temperature is higher than 25 degrees.

4.3 RESULTS
The results of the simulation will be organized depending on the obtained chars from
IDA ICE. Moreover, the results are subclassifyed depending on the requirements of the
project.
Cooling power
First of all, the obtained results are split up in total cooling power of the air handling
units and total cooling power of the cooling units of the zones. Herefore it has been split
up the coolin power of the air handling units represents the current cooling power that
the city hall have, and the total cooling power of the cooling units define the extra
cooling power that the city hall needs to supply in order to respect the set points of
every room and having a comfortable environment. Thus, for calculating the ideal
cooling load of the building, these two cooling powers have to be added to the
calculations.
In the next two figures are shown the cooling power of the air handling units and the
coolin units from the zones. It can be seen that the biggest amount of cooling is
provided by the air handling units. However, there are some zones that they need an
extra cooling load so that they can satisfy their requirements.
68
FIGURE 40: DISTRIBUTION OF THE COOLING POWER OF THE AIR HANDLING UNITS.
In figure 40 can be seen that the cooling load increases from the beggining of June until
the end of August, having a cooling peak in the middle of July. It can also be seen that
July is the month where the system is operating more than the others. The calculated
maximum cooling power of the cooling coils from the AHUs is 570.7kW on the 13/07
at 1:00pm.
69
FIGURE 41: DISTRIBUTION OF THE COOLING POWER OF THE IDEAL COOLERS OF THE ZONES.
On the other hand, in figure 41 can be seen the cooling load of the cooling units. As
well as in the cooling power of the AHUs, the cooling power of the cooling units
increases from the middle of June. However, it decreases earlyer, around the end of
July. For this case, the calculated maximum cooling power peak of the cooling units is
143.3 kW the 3/07 of July at 4:00pm.
After having compared the two cooling powers from both AHUs and unit coils, it has to
be calculated the ideal cooling power that the building has to fullfil. In the following
figure, it is shown the addition of these two cooling powers to one total cooling power.
The figure shows how every cooling power affect the total cooling power. So that, it can
be seen that the maximum cooling power is found the same day as the cooling power of
the AHUs cooling peak. This cooling peak rises up to 671kW on the 13/07 at 1:00pm .

Delivered energy
It has to be distinguished the cooling energy usage and the electrical energy usage. As
explained in the lasts chapters, the water chiller of the city hall uses electricity for
cooling down the incoming water from the air handling units. So that, the delivered
energy that has to be considered is the electrical one.
In the next table, it is shown the total delivered energy of the building: The electrical
energy is split up in lighting, cooling, HVAC aux49 and Equipment.
In this table it can be seen the distribution of delivered energy of the cooling. The total
delivered energy of the month of July rises up to 12MWh, which represents a 57% or

It corresponds to the electricity usage of the air pumps from the AHUs.
71
the total delivered energy of cooling. On the month of August and June, the delivered
energy represents a 23% and a 17% respectively. Finally, in June and September
represents less that 1% of the total amount of the cooling energy. So that, the total
amount of energy for cooling production rises up to 21MWh per year.
Moreover, in the next table it can be seen the total delivered energy during the whole
summer season. It can also be seen the power demand of lighting, cooling, HVAC
system and the equipment.
Thus, it has been considered that the ideal power demand of electricity for the cooling is
164.3kW. With this power demand, it can be satisfied all the cooling requirements of
the building, ensuring a total comfort in every zone of the building.
Finally, these values can be compared in order to see the energy distribution of the
building. On the next figure is shown this distribution.
72
FIGURE 43: MONTHLY DELIVERED ENERGY.
In this picture it can be seen that the ventilation system of the city hall uses more than
the 50% of the total delivered energy during June, July and August.

CHAPTER 5 DISTRICT COOLING AT STADSHUS
On this chapter it is explained all the procedure followed for converting the current
water chilled system to a district cooling system. For that, from the international Energy
Agency, it has been taken their procedure for converting a building with water chillers
to a district cooling building. The steps that it has to be followed are:
Nevertheless, it has to be said that in this project it will only be followed until the 4 th
step due to the fact that the aim of this project is to calculate the total costs of
installation and performance of district cooling. This way, this thesis could be continued
by starting from the 5th step.
On the next paragraph these steps are explained in more detail.
Building survey
The building survey has been done on the other chapters, however, it is summarized in
the next paragraphs.
1) Current system:
74
First of all, in the next figure there are shown the different cooling loads calculated in
this project.
First of all, it can be seen that with the cooling power of the current system, there will
be some days where the system would have to work at full capacity and even that it will
not fulfill all required cooling demand. Moreover, with the cooling power of IDA ICE it
will be fulfilled the cooling demand of every day of the year. Finally, with the cooling
power of the 50W/m calculations, it can fulfill almost all the required cooling demand
of the building. However, there will be two days of the entire simulation where the
cooling demand would not be fulfilled.
75
It has to be chosen one cooling load for the consequently design of the system. There
has to be considered two reasons in order to choose the appropriate cooling power of the
system. These are: an economic point of view of the investment; and the cooling
demand required.
In this first table there are shown the different prices per year of the calculated
cooling loads. Hence, the average price of four years has been calculated in
order to calculate the impact fee per year of each cooling load. This is shown in
the following table.
TABLE 18: TOTAL IMPACT FEE AMOUNT PER YEAR FOR EVERY CALCULATED COOLING LOAD
Hence, it can be seen that the impact fee increases depending on the cooling
power that it is contracted.
50
Impact fee is defined as the tax which corresponds to the cost for providing district cooling to the
building.
51
The Prices have been proportionated by Gvle Energi AB. See the appendix IX.
76
- Cooling demand
It has to be considered the amount of hours that the system will work below the
cooling demand of the building. In the next table it is shown this amount of
hours for every calculated cooling load. It is also calculated the % of time that
has been operating below the requirements compared to the total operation hours
of the cooling system
TABLE 19: OPERATION HOURS BELOW THE COOLING DEMAND OF THE BUILDING
Conclusion
On this paragraph it is decided the optimal cooling power for the district cooling that the
city hall should have.
Analyzing the two factors explained above, the best option for the city hall would be
contracting a cooling load of 447.28kW for the district cooling. This option fulfills
99.28% of the total cooling demand of the building and also it has a relative good
impact fee of 113.38 kSEK / year.
It has to be said that Gvle Energi AB provides their customers with a value of 450kW
of chilled water. Thus, it is considered a final cooling power of 450 kW for the district
cooling system. Moreover, it is considered that the chilled water within the building is
propelled by two water pumps in parallel. Each water pump has an electrical power of
1.1 kW. Hence, the total electrical power needed for the cooling system is 2.2 kW.
77
5.2 DISTRICT COOLING SCHEMATIC DESIGN
The connection between the district cooling pipes from the cooling plant and the chilled
water system of the building are split up in two systems: primary system and secondary
system.
The primary system is defined as the connector between the incoming pipe from the
cooling plant and the heat exchanger of the building. On the other hand, the secondary
system is defined as the piping system between the heat exchanger and the cooling
devices of the building (air handling units or chilled beams, for instance). In the next
paragraphs these two systems are explained in more detail.
Primary system
The primary system is constructed and owned by the energy supplier of the building, in
this case Gvle Energi AB. The company is in charge of providing the building with all
the piping and heat exchangers needed. Afterwards, the costumer would have to pay an
impact fee for the use of all these material.
The primary system is split up between the connection of the building with the cooling
plant and the piping system of the primary system within the building.
78
The pipes are buried in the ground, and connected to the chilled room at the
basement of the zone C of the building. All this description can be appreciated
in figure 45.
79
- Primary system within the building:
80
In figure 46, it can be seen the piping system of the district coolings primary and
secondary system.
First of all, the incoming pipes, from the cooling plant, enter to the zone C.B.6 of the
building C, where the heating and cooling rooms are. The incoming chilled water flows
through the 150mm diameter pipes to the primary system within the building.
The main components of the piping system of the primary system are:
- Isolation valve:
It can be seen this valve at the beginning of the system. It stops the flow of the
process, usually for maintenance or safety purposes.
- Needle valve:
It uses a tapered pin to gradually open a space for fine control of flow. Hence, the
needle valve is used in flow metering applications. In this case, it is used for
calculating the difference of pressure between the incoming cooled water and the
return water.
- Air vent:
It is used for removing air from the cooled water.
- Control valve:
It is used to control conditions such as flow, pressure, temperature, and liquid
level by fully or partially opening or closing in response to signals received from
controllers that compare a "set point" to a "process variable" whose value is
provided by sensors that monitor changes in such conditions.
81
- Freeze protection:
It consists in an optional system which prevents the water to be frozen during
cold days. This system opens the valve to keep flowing the income water when
there is no need for cooling within the building.
- Other meters:
The energy meter registers the quantity of energy transferred from the users
secondary system to the primary system. Cooling energy is the product of mass
flow, temperature difference, the specific heat of the water, and time. It is
difficult to measure mass flow in an enclosed pipe system, so volume flow is
measured with the flow meter. The result is corrected for the density and specific
heat capacity of the water, which depends on its temperature, also measured by
the two temperature meters. The effect of pressure is so small that it can be
neglected, however it is calculated by the pressure meters between the incoming
and the return pipes. Moreover, an energy meter consists of a flow meter, a pair
of temperature sensors, and an energy calculator that integrates the flow,
temperature data and correction factors.
Secondary system
In this case, the secondary system is owned and constructed by the customer.
Nevertheless, the city hall has already built all this system because of the current water
chiller system that the building has. So that, only a few parts of the secondary system
have to be changed in order to be connected to the heat exchanger.
The current secondary system is composed by two parallel pumps, one expansion tank,
two butterfly valves, a strainer and all the pipes that connect the water chiller with the air
handling units. Hence, in order to adapt the current system to district cooling, only the
pipe connected to the water chiller has to be modified and connected to the future heat
exchanger. In the following scheme, it is shown the future secondary system with district
cooling.
82
FIGURE 47: SECONDARY SYSTEM SCHEMA WITH DISTRICT COOLING.
It can also be appreciate that there is an incoming pipe connected to the secondary
system. This pipe is in charge of supplying with new water the system in case of
leakages or substitution of the water of the secondary system. Moreover, the secondary
system is connected to an expansion tank, which is responsible to regulate the water
pressure of the system.
Heat exchanger
This part of the system represents the connector between the
primary and the secondary systems. The properties of the cooling
system, for example the cooling capacity, are defined with the
heat exchanger. For this reason, the definition of the Heat
exchangers power defines the cooling capacity of the whole
system. That is why, for this case it has to be installed a heat
exchanger whose capacity raises 450kW. Moreover, it will be
used a plane heat exchanger because of its high efficiency. In the FIGURE 48: PLANE HEAT
EXCHANGER
following paragraph there are explained the properties of the
selected heat exchanger:

Temperature in 16 11.3 C
Temperature out 5.5 4.5 C
Pressure 98.8 96.9 kPa
TABLE 20: PLANE HEAT EXCHANGERS PROPERTIES.
The secondary system is already installed on the building, that is why it has to be only
installed the district cooling piper, the heat exchanger and then it has to be connected
the heat exchanger with the current pipes of the secondary system.
After having designed the primary and secondary system, it has to be explained the list
of costs and prices of district cooling. These costs are split up in some parts in order to
consider every part of the investment and the expenses.
In the first table it can be found the cost of installing district cooling to a building. This
installation costs are split up in substation cost and access charge. On the one hand, the
substation cost consists on the price of all the parts, for instance pipes or devices. This
cost also includes the construction costs. On the other hand, the access charge includes
all the cost of construction for bringing chilled water from the main pipes of the city to
the plot of the building52.
In this table in can also be seen the total installation costs, which rises up to 1250 kSEK.
This investment can be paid by a loan provided by the supplier company53.
Installation Costs
Substation 350 kSEK
Moreover, the cost associated with the tear down of the old system has to be mentioned
on the investment of district cooling. This cost includes the removal of the old system,
which includes pipes, water chiller and cooling towers. See table 22.
Hence, the owner of the building has also to pay this extra cost in order to install the
new cooling system. Nevertheless, this cost is not considered in the mentioned loan,
therefore this is an operation made by an external company.

Other Costs
Teardown the old system 103 kSEK
Finally, it can be found the annual costs of this system. These are split up in three
different parts: Energy usage; Impact fee; and Maintenance.
Annual Costs
Energy Price 270/310 SEK/MWh
Maintenance 5 kSEK
- Energy usage: This charge is associated to the total amount of cool used by the
costumer. For these reason this fee is expressed in SEK per MWh used. As
showed in the next table, this value has varied between 270 to 310 SEK on the
lasts 5 years54.
- Impact fee: it is a charge associated to the usage of the district cooling system.
Depending on the installation, the fee can vary. On the table below, it is show
some prices depending on the cooling power of the installation. The impact fee
can vary from 230 SEK per kW, for an installation of 350kW, up to 520 SEK
per kW for an installation of 1500kW.
Thus, the total cost per year of the system would be up to 5 kSEK per year. Then,
depending on the energy usage and the cooling power of the installation, the total
annual cost will vary significantly.

CHAPTER 6 RESULTS
In this chapter the results of the energetic and economic analysis are mentioned. Firstly,
it is explained the lacks of the current cooling system coopered to the optimal cooling
load calculated at chapter 5. Moreover, one solution is proposed for fulfilling all the
requirements of the building. Secondly, this solution is compared with district cooling
with an economic and environmental analysis. To conclude, an optimal solution will be
selected.
As explained in all the other chapters, during the summertime the city hall is cooled
down with a water chiller and another secondary chiller, located in the basement. Both
chillers have a total cooling load of 185.8kW with an electrical power of 43.53kW.
Moreover, the coefficient of performance of these combined chillers is 4.27.
87
FIGURE 50: PEAK COOLING LOAD BY THE ROOM UNITS OF IDA ICE.
In the figure above, it is shown the critical points of the current system. In the legend it
can be seen the different cold supplied in every room for satisfying the comfort in a
good level. For instance, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors from the building D are exposed to
higher temperatures, for this reason, they are been cooled down more than other rooms.
Thus, some cooling units should be installed in the critical points. Nevertheless, this is
solution should not be considered because of the expenses that suppose an installation
of this level.
New system
The optimal solution for this problem is providing the building with a new cooling
system that would fulfill the cooling load of all the rooms. As explained in chapter 6.1,
one good solution would be the installation of a cooling system with a cooling load of
450kW.
An economic solution for this issue would be the installation of a high efficient water
chiller with a cooling capacity of 450kW. For this device it has been considered the
same coefficient of performance as the current one, 4.27. Hence, the required electrical
power would increase up to 106 kW. Furthermore, the calculated energy usage by
cooling would be 88,47MWh per year.
88
Costs
The cost of investment for one water chillers can fluctuate depending on the quality of
the device, the cooling load, the coefficient of performance and the life expectancy. It
has been considered that the price of buying a new cooling device rises up to 1400
kSEK. Moreover, it is taken into account a maintenance cost of 60 kSEk per year and
also a life expectancy around 20 years55.
Conclusion
The properties of the chosen solution are exposed in the following table:
To conclude, this water chiller can fulfill the requirements of the building almost during
all the operation hours in summertime56. Moreover, the prices of tear down of the old
system are not considered.
Energy prices
The performance of the system requires some energy costs that have to be paid every
year to the energy company. In the table below, there are shown the electricity prices on
2013 from Gvle Energi AB for a building with a low voltage grid.
55
This prices have been provided by Gvle Energi AB.
56
As explained before, a system can fulfill 100% of the cooling demand if its cooling power is higher than
671kW.
89
Mobile network charge ( MNCe ) 58 SEK/MWh
The electricity bill is split up in five components. The first one is the price of every
MWh used. The following four prices correspond to the different charges associated to
the installation. In this case, it has not been considered the costs of reactive electricity.
Furthermore, in the following char, there is shown the temporal distribution of the
energy price on the last 5 years. It can be seen that the electricity price are fluctuates
around 0.15 SEK on this 5 years. However, observing the tendency line it can be said
the energy price is overall increasing. For this reason, in future calculations, it will be
considered a linear tendency of the energy prices. In addition, all the electric charges
will be considered as the same linear tendency as the energy price57.

It has been chosen this tendency for all the charges because there is only temporal data from the
energy pricing.

6.2 DISTRICT COOLING SYSTEM
The district cooling system is considered another good solution for solving the heat gain
problems of the building. As mentioned in chapter 5, this centralized system can
provide big amounts of cooling without using big amounts of electrical energy as
normal chilled systems do.
Furthermore, the properties of the estimated system are described in the table below.
There are explained most important characteristics of the system. There is a difference
between the needed cooling energy and the supplied cooling energy because of the
efficiency of the heat exchanger. For this reason, the secondary system needs 88.47
MWh per year for fulfilling its requirements. However, the cooling plant has to provide
91.21 MWh per year due to the heat exchanger.
Another point that has to be considered is the life expectancy of the installation. Due to
the fact that heat exchangers have a long operation life, it has been taken into account an
unlimited live expectancy of the device. Also, the described electrical power of 2.2kW
corresponds to the pumping power. Hence, this energy use will not be considered in
further chapters.
Energy prices
As well as in chapter 5, there are expressed the energy prices of district cooling.
Nevertheless, in the following table there are only shown the prices from 2013.
91

In addition, there is also shown the temporal distribution of the energy price and the
impact fee for district cooling on the lasts 5 years. It can be seen that there are different
tendency lines between this two costs. In one hand, the energy price has been
fluctuating between 40SEK on the last 5 years. However, it can be appreciated a
reduction of the energy price on the last year. On the other hand, the impact fee has
been rising during all this 4 years with small fluctuations of its value. Due to this
different correlation between prices, it will be considered two different linear tendencies
on the following chapters.

In this part of the project it is compared the two suggested solutions for the cooling
system of the building. First of all, it will be done an economic analysis of every
solution that will determine the total costs of each solution. Afterwards, it will be
compared both costs and determined the savings between the optimal solution and the
other solution. To conclude, the optimal solutions costs will be exposed.

In this part of the economic analysis all the calculations are done. In the next tables
there are shown three different annual cash flows. The first one expresses the cash flow
for the zero period (n=0), when both systems are still not running and the investments
are done. The second table shows a normal cash flow when the systems are operating
correctly. And finally, the third table shows the cash flow when another water chiller is
installed in the building, due to the fact that the current water chiller has reach its life
expectancy.

In addition, in the next table it can be seen all cash flows for both investments of the
study
Results
First of all, it has been calculated the net present values for each operation. It can be
seen that the NPV of the investment is negative for both cases because all the costs are
considered expenses. Nevertheless, for choosing the optimal solution, these two
solutions have to be compared. For this reason, it has been calculated the NPV between
them. In the next table there are shown the economic rates of the economic study.

- 3208.78 kSEK

CAPITAL COST 7 %

TABLE 35: ECONOMIC RATES OF THE INVESTMENTS.
96
The rates of the economic study are explained on the following points:
The total net present value for the water chiller system will rise up to 3465.8
kSEK in 30 years. This value represents the total expenses of the system
considering that the price of the currency during all the period is the same as the
price at the zero period.
In this case, the NPV for the district cooling system will rise up to 3208.8 kSEK
in 30 years. It can be seen that the total expenses of this investment will be lower
than the water chiller systems ones. For this reason, it can be said that the
district cooling system is more profitable than the water chiller system.
This rate determines the amount of expenses that can be saved comparing the
two systems. Because of lower expenses of the DCS, the net present value
between the systems is positive. For this reason, it can be said that the money
savings of district cooling system will be 259.11 kSEk during this period of 30
years. However, before reaching the conclusion that district cooling is a better
option than a water chiller system it has to be analyzed the internal rate of return.
To determine if the district cooling system is a better solution than the water
chiller system, it has to be compared the IRR with the capital cost of the
operation. When a project has a higher IRR than the capital cost, the yield of
the operation is higher than the minimum required yield, which meant that the
project is profitable. In this case the IRR (12%) is higher than the capital cost
58

97
(7%), for this reason, investing for a district cooling system is a better operation
than investing for a water chiller system, in a period of 30 years.
Payback period in capital budgeting refers to the period of time required for
the return on an investment to "repay" the sum of the original investment59.
The payback of this operation is 21 years, which means that the district cooling
system will start to have more benefits than the water chiller system after 21
years of the installation.

In the last figure it is shown the accumulated NPV between DCS and WCS. It
can be seen that on the first year, installing DCS is more profitable than WCS.
Although after the second year, WCS is more profitable. However, after 21
years, installing DCS would be more profitable.
Due to the fact that DCS is a better investment than WCS, the benefit of DCS
compared with WCS will be 19% in a term of 30 years. This rate tells the
percentage of benefits of the investment compared to the initial investment
( ).

- Energy prices
Nevertheless, one last aspect has to be considered. Depending on the chosen
energy prices the results can vary a little bit. On this case, data provided from the
local energy company has been used for a more realistic calculation for this
specific area. The energy prices have been collected taking into account the
different characteristics of the electric and cooling system. This way, for the
electric installation of the city hall, it has been considered a low voltage
installation and always operating in low load60.
Conclusion
The results of the economic analysis have shown that, in a long term, investing on a
district cooling system is a better choice than water chiller system. As explained before,
the investment of DCS compared to WCS will have a net present value of 259.11 kSEK,
with an internal rate of return of 12% and a payback of the investment of 21 years.
Moreover, the benefits of this investment will rise up to 19% at the end of the 30Th
period.
Apart from the economic analysis, it has to be analyzed another point before concluding
that DCS are a better choice than WCS. Nowadays, the environmental part of projects is
being considered more than in the past. Two reasons of this change are the subsidies for
investing in renewable energies and a more environmental behavior. For this reason, it
has to be done an environmental analysis between district cooling and water chillers.
On one hand, water chillers use big amounts of electricity for generating cooling. This
amount of energy can be calculated from the coefficient of performance of the device.

99
Moreover, the electricity used is provided by the electrical grid of the building. On the
other hand, the amount of electrical energy used in district cooling is much lower than
the other system. However, it has to be also considered for a more real solution. In this
case, the used energy is delimitated by the electrical efficiency of the water chillers of
the cooling plant. Hence, the electrical energy is used in the cooling plant instead of in
the main building.
In the next table it is shown the amount of emitted particles per electrical MWh used61.
Particle
CO ( ) 936,09 Kg/MWh year
SOx ( ) 0,51 Kg/MWh year
NOx ( ) 0,30 Kg/MWh year
Equations
As explained in the chapter above, it has to be calculated the electrical energy from both
cases. The equations for calculate this energy are expressed below:

- Nitrogen oxides emissions ( ):
( )
Results
Taking into account the previous equations, the particles emission can be calculated.
The results can be seen in the following table. After the table, the results are explained
in more detail.
-
Due to the fact that there is an energy reduction of approximately 70%, the
difference between the emitted particles between both systems has the same
reduction. In the case of carbon dioxide, there is a reduction between systems of
101
13.4 Tons/year. Nevertheless, as explained before, depending on the type of
cooling plant this value can vary. For instance, the emitted particles would be
radically reduced if in the production of chilled water free cooling systems
would be used.
- &
Despite the fact that the amount of emitted particles of sulfur and nitrogen
oxides is lower than the carbon dioxide particles, it has also to be carefully
considered because of the high contaminant rate of these two particles. The
reductions of using DCS instead of WCH are 7.37 kg/year and 4.37 kg/year for
and respectively.
Conclusion
In this environmental study it can be seen that the usage of DCS compared to WCS can
reduce a 70% the amount of emitted particles to the atmosphere due to the reduced
electrical energy.
Compared to other particles, the carbon dioxide is the most produced particle in
electricity generation. Thus, a big decrease of the electricity usage can reduce in a high
level the amount of this emitted particle.
To sum up, this district cooling system can reduce 14.34 MWh in electricity, which
means an energy reduction of 70% compared to a water chiller system. Moreover, the
carbon dioxide emitted is reduced 13.4 Tons/year whereas sulfur and nitrogen oxides
are reduced 7.37 and 4.37 kg/year respectively.

CHAPTER 7 CONCLUSIONS & DISCUSSIONS
- It has been analyzed the cooling system of the city hall of Gvle. It is composed
by a primary water chiller and other secondary cooling systems with a total
cooling capacity of 185.8 kW and a coefficient of performance of 4.27.
- The optimal cooling load for the building has been calculated by three methods:
o Watts per square meter: 450kW
o Current cooling capacity: 185.8kW
o Mathematical program: 671kW
- By the program IDA ICE it has been simulated the performance of the cooling
system. With the analysis of the indoor environment and taking into account the
comfort rates, it has been calculated a cooling demand for all the building of
671kW whereas it has also calculated an associated electrical demand of
164.3kW
- For selecting the optimal cooling load of the new system, the following table has
been used. On the one hand, it has been taken into account an economic point of
view, where different energy charges have been calculated. On the other hand, it
has been considered an operation time point of view, where depending on the
maximum cooling capacity of the solutions, the building will be more hours
under the required cooling demand.
103
Hence, the optimal cooling load of the system would be 450kW with a yearly
impact fee of 113.38 kSEK and an operation time below the cooling demand of
0.72% of the operation hours.
- With a cooling load of 450 two cooling systems have been chosen:
104
- Both options have been compared in order to select the optimal one. For this
research it has been carried out two analysis:
o Economic analysis:

o Environmental analysis:

Moreover, the usage of district cooling would decrease the particles emission up
to 70%. In case of carbon dioxide, there would be reduced 13.5 tons per year
whereas 7.4 and 4.4 kg per year of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides would be
reduced.
