Workshop Presentations Posted Fourteen presentations have just been posted for our recent workshop entitled Preventing Hurricane Damage Due to Loss of Building Climate Controls: Opportunities for Combined Heat & Power. This event attracted over 50 architects and engineers involved in reconstructing public facilities destroyed during the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season.

Industrial Facilities
Many industrial operations have large electrical and thermal needs. In many industries, thermal loads are very significant and represent 65-90% of total energy consumption. Therefore, industrial sites are excellent prospects for both topping and bottoming CHP installations. [More]
