Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to develop a planning method for a distributed district energy base to mitigate disasters and global environmental problems. In the study, we evaluated the possibility of a co-generation systems installation and its effects in important facilities, such as government buildings or hospitals, in terms of disaster and environmental management. A method for selecting suitable districts for the energy base was also proposed, which showed concrete examples of an energy base. The results of this study will make a considerable contribution to future urban and community planning and allow them to make good use of energy and maintain urban functions during disasters.
