Agenda

Combined Heat and Power (CHP)

How Does it Work??

Reducing building emissions has just got more affordable!!

Raise the bar on what to expect from your building’s energy systems while meeting todays net-zero climate targets!

As we consume more energy:

• We rely more heavily on more power sources.

• Which result in more energy losses, higher costs, and has a greater environmental impact.

Micro-CHP energy efficient solutions optimize and synchronize multiple energy sources and mixed renewables:

• They reduce operational costs, minimize greenhouse gas emissions as well as reduce your carbon footprint.

• Increase energy independence, providing on-site power generation combined with heating as well as cooling options. Avoiding peek demand and billing cycles including rate spikes.

• Maximizing energy resiliency and occupancy sustainability

When thinking about heat and power for any building or facility, traditionally two important, but separate, systems come to mind—one for hot water and one for electricity, from the grid.

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems revolutionize this by combining these two independent functions into one comprehensive system. Using natural gas, renewable natural gas, or biomass. Micro-CHP solution, manage and generate ample heating while generating electricity to meet the buildings total energy loads. When compared to using hot water boilers in conjunction with power from the grid, environmentally friendly micro-CHP systems, maximize energy efficiency, while significantly lowering GHG emissions and overall operational costs.

Paul Binotto

Director – Strategy and Business Development, Pacific Region - Guillevin International

Paul is championing Guillevin’s role as a leader in the Electrification and reduced Emission efforts in British Columbia.

In his role he is focused on innovative and sustainable equipment and programs with an emphasis on affordable Energy Management to reduce building emissions.

His effort includes the understanding and role EV Charging adaptation plays, related to Residential, Public and Fleet applications.

The Mission of the CTTC

The mission of  The Chapter Technology Transfer Committee (CTTC) provides efficient and effective transfer of current and relevant information throughout the HVAC&R industry to and from the Chapters. CTTC develops and maintains high quality and readily available tools to enable Chapters to offer information and attractive industry-related information and programs to all segments within the HVAC&R industry. CTTC reports to the Members Council.

We do this with Speakers, Panels or Tours.

Let us know

IDEAS FOR MEETING TOPICS FOR VI ASHRAE

Each year we try to get in appropriate speakers both within ASHRAE Society and outside of ASHRAE Society

We have access to The ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturers (DL) Program, www.ashrae.org/communities/chapters/distinguished-lecturers.

Please let us know what you would like to learn more about.
