A Case Study of an Optimization Retrofit of the Heat Supply System in a Campus of Tianjin

According to the phenomenon of insufficient utilization of the geothermal water in the heat supply system of a campus in Tianjin, an optimization retrofit scheme with cascade utilization of the geothermal water is introduced in this paper. The energy efficiency of the heat supply system was improved after the retrofit: 30% of the electricity consumption was saved and an extra building area of 120,000 m2 could also be served by the same heat supply system.
