CogenS™ — Boiler Module
Boiler Lifecycle Cost Analysis & Selection
Analyze commercial and industrial boiler systems with manufacturer-specific data. Compare hot water and steam configurations, condensing and non-condensing models, across gas and oil fuel types with full lifecycle cost analysis.
Why CogenS™
The Right Boiler for the Right Application. Proven by Data.
Commercial and industrial boiler selection involves balancing efficiency, fuel type, capacity, and long-term operating costs. A condensing boiler may save energy but cost more upfront -- does it pay back for your specific facility?
CogenS™ answers that question with engineering-grade analysis. Compare boiler types and manufacturers using real equipment data, local energy rates, and climate-adjusted heating load profiles to find the optimal solution.

Why It Matters
Solving the Hardest Parts of Boiler Selection
Condensing vs Non-Condensing
Condensing boilers offer higher efficiency but cost more upfront. The payback depends on your specific load profile, fuel costs, and operating hours. CogenS™ calculates the true lifecycle cost difference.
Fuel Type & Rate Optimization
Gas vs oil boiler economics depend entirely on local fuel pricing, which varies dramatically by region and rate structure. CogenS™ models your exact tariff to reveal the lowest-cost fuel option.
Right-Sizing for Load
Oversized boilers waste fuel cycling on and off. Undersized boilers can't meet peak demand. CogenS™ matches boiler capacity to your actual 8,760-hour heating profile for optimal sizing.
