CHP Feasibility

Completing a techno-economic CHP feasibility study, requires a thorough understanding of the building energy footprint, resources, and constraints.

Time is in the essence; gathering site energy and billing data, construction, and equipment manufacturer documentation takes time. Therefore, engaging subject matter experts at an early stage is crucial.
