Description

Sustainable On-Site CHP Systems: Design, Construction, and Operations is a hands-on guide to dramatically reducing energy use in commercial, institutional, residential, educational, and industrial buildings.

Two-thirds of all fuel used to make electricity is generally wasted by venting unused thermal energy from power generation equipment into the air or discharging it into water streams. The average efficiency of power generation has remained around 33 percent since 1960.

Sustainable On-Site CHP Systems provides design engineers and plant managers with all of the information needed to design, construct, and operate on-site CHP (combined heat and power) facilities. These systems can increase energy efficiency by as much as 85 percent by using thermal energy from power generation equipment for cooling, heating, and humidity control systems.
