WOODLAND HILLS, CA — The Motion Picture & Television Fund Hospital recently ordered six natural gas-driven cogeneration modules from Tecogen (Waltham, MA) to complement a Tecochill® natural gas-driven cooling system that was shipped earlier this summer.
In the eyes of company president Bob Panora, Tecogen demonstrated that it can supply technology “with three significant benefits” for the hospital.
“First, we can substantially increase their energy efficiency, which will allow them to reduce their energy costs,” said Panora. “Second, our systems will be easy to permit, since emissions fall well below even the strictest levels in the Los Angeles area. And third, our systems will cut CO2 emissions nearly in half, compared with what would be produced by generating a comparable amount of energy conventionally.”
