RobustEnergy: Cogeneration, CHP is a Solid Investment in Sustainability for Commercial Buildings and Institutions

Keeps the Lights on, Maintains Comfort, Reduces Costs & Emissions

Rich Herweck, CEO and Founder, RobustEnergy recently spoke at the U.S. Green Building Council Texas Gulf Coast Chapter’s USGBC Energy Summit 2011 which brought green building industry leaders together for informative discussions on energy trends and perspectives for sustainability, efficiency and eco-friendly building for commercial properties. Herweck recognized the value cogeneration provides to buildings, industries and institutions. Cogeneration CHP increases energy security, efficiency and provides a long-term sustainable investment that reduces the cost of energy. New hybrid technology or trigeneration such as Combined Cooling Heat and Power (CCHP) and Microturbine Combined Heat and Power (MTCHP) can be ideal power solutions for smaller facilities including:

  • Condominiums
  • K-12 Schools
  • Hotels & Hospitality
  • Senior Centers
  • Sports Centers (with pools)
  • Critical Infrastructure Facilities
  • Command control for police and fire stations
  • Communication & Data Centers
  • Medical and Nursing Facilities
  • Wastewater Treatment Facilities

On-site CHP systems meet the requirements of the Texas law affecting energy security for mission critical facilities in Texas. See http://www.txsecurepower.org for details. Trigeneration and natural gas powered cogeneration, CHP technologies are secure sources of energy during high demand and extreme weather conditions. The proven technology provides green building solutions that drive emission reduction, efficiency, and sustainability while increasing efficiency to over 80% resulting in a significant reduction in fuel costs. Herweck noted, “There are a wide selection of long-term financial incentives, public/private partnerships and lease or lease purchase solutions that make CHP technologies ideal investments for achieving efficiency and sustainability in emissions solutions.”

Herweck will also be presenting at TXCHPI’s annual Combined Heat and Power Conference 2011, (CHP CON 2011), October 17 – 19 at the Westin Galleria Hotel, 5060 West Alabama, Houston, TX 77056 featuring cogeneration, trigeneration and waste heat recovery, energy efficiency and more. CHP Con 2011 is a must for industry leaders considering CHP at your facility or interested in learning more about CHP. Register online or by phone (512) 705-9996.
