Green energy means power with less pollution and less waste. The result is a better building, a lower bill, and a lighter load on the community.
Our green-energy work includes certification acknowledged by LEED. We take part in the ABC Green Committee. The products we install are environmentally minded and include Energy Star models. Energy Star is a quality and savings bar set by the EPA — details are at energystar.gov.
Lochinvar micro combined heat and power
Combined heat and power — cogeneration — produces hot water and electricity together. Lochinvar’s MicroCHP, under 50 kWh and built with EC Power, is aimed at light commercial buildings. You get the water-heating efficiency you expect from Lochinvar, and the unit generates electricity while it heats, so the electric bill drops as soon as it is running.
EC Power is a leading European producer of commercial micro-CHP, where this technology is already common. More on the XRGI system is at lochinvar.com.
