The Southeast CHP Application Center promotes the development and deployment of integrated systems that provide on-site electrical generation and utilize the heat from the generation equipment to provide cooling and/or heating for the building.

The Center serves to identify and promote the use of viable CHP technologies and systems in applications where they can increase energy efficiencies, reduce operating costs, reduce electrical loads on the utility electrical grid in areas where it is taxed, and shave peak load demands from the grid. The Application Center will serve to bring together manufacturers, utilities, building operators, research and development organizations, industry associations, energy service companies, architects and engineers, and national laboratory personnel to promote on-site and near site power generation, energy recovery, and energy management and utilization for commercial, institutional, multifamily and community based buildings.

The Southeast CHP Application Center has been established to expedite the successful deployment of viable CHP technologies by providing:

• Technology Education

  • Technical Information
  • Presentations
  • Information Website
• Engineering Tool Kits
  • Case studies
  • Viability screening tools
  • Current Policies
  • Area Contacts
• Engineering Project Support
  • Initial Feasibility Assessment
  • Site Assessment Visits
  • Assistance in Project Justification
  • SWAT Team Assistance
