Zusammenfassung:	This report documents a study to determine alternatives for modernizing the central heating plant at the Defense Personnel Support Center (DPSC), Philadelphia, PA. The central heating plant contains five boilers; four are 50 years old and one is 14 years old. The age of this equipment warranted an investigation of alternatives for providing thermal energy to the installation. These alternatives include maintaining the status quo, upgrading the existing system, installing new boilers, cogeneration, and absorption chilling. Heating and cooling loads were analyzed using computer simulations. Based on the simulations and design temperatures, life cycle costs were developed for each alternative. (MM)
