New York High-Rise to Install Combined Cooling, Heating, and Power System
WALTHAM, Mass. — Tecogen Inc. announced that it has signed a contract with the Brevoort East, a luxury 323 unit high-rise co-op in Greenwich Village, N.Y., to provide a turnkey Tecogen combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system. The Tecogen system will deliver electricity, space heating, domestic hot water, and air conditioning to the building’s common areas. In addition, the Tecogen system will offer a level of redundancy in the event of grid failure and blackouts by providing continual energy to essential services for the 26-story building. Tecogen said the energy efficient system is expected to significantly reduce the building’s operating costs and carbon footprint.
The system will consist of two natural gas engine-driven Tecogen InVerde 100 kW cogeneration units with the company’s patent pending ultra-low emissions controls and an 80-ton absorption chiller. Tecogen will be the sole provider for the turnkey package, including engineering, permitting, installation, startup, and maintenance.
