Standardized, packaged CHP systems can overcome numerous barriers to CHP installations in commercial, institutional, multifamily, light industrial, and Federal applications by reducing design errors, limiting uncertainty about projected performance, shortening project install time, streamlining permitting, and reducing the overall cost. Partners will validate that installation times and total project costs for pre-engineered, technically-validated packaged CHP systems can be reduced by 20% or more. Partners will also evaluate the integration of new technologies with packaged CHP systems and identify R&D challenges and opportunities around packaged CHP and related technologies. |
Better Buildings hosts interactive webinars featuring a variety of topics exploring cost-effective ways for organizations to integrate energy savings into their daily building operations. All Better Buildings webinars are free to attend.
The Packaged Combined Heat and Power Catalog (eCatalog) is a voluntary public/private partnership designed to increase deployment of CHP in commercial, institutional, and multi-family buildings and manufacturing plants.
To date, the 900+ Better Buildings partners have saved more than 2.5 quadrillion Btus, saving more than $15 billion and 155 million tons of CO2.
