The CHP Analysis Tool builds on an analysis engine used in assessing sites for CHP applicability during 10 years of work with the DOE and the private sector. The ASHRAE CHP Analysis Tool has been further developed as part of ASHRAE research project RP-1592 to provide an initial understanding of the CHP potential for a given site. The CHP Analysis Tool provides a consistent and tested means for assessing CHP system economic performance for building with weather dependent and process loads using monthly utility billing data. The results of the analysis are intended to be used for guidance purposes only.
