ASHRAE's CHP Design Guide Overview: A Walk on the Thermal Side

This presentation will provide an overview of the Design Guide by highlighting the essence of all twelve chapters. Practitioners with a firm understanding of successful CHP applications will understand that successful CHP is first and foremost reliable economics.  This means that matching CHP electricity and thermal production with site loads is essential.  Targeting addressable thermal loads then become the primary focus of CHP design.  Finally, accounting for the right economic factors will result in a good CHP assessment.
