WALTHAM, Mass., June 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Tecogen®
Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN) today announced the sale of a CM-60 combined
heat and power (CHP) module to the Columbia Association (CA) in
Columbia, Maryland. The 60
kilowatt unit will be installed at the Supreme Sports Club, the
largest of three full service fitness facilities operated by CA. In
addition to providing electrical power to the facility, the CHP
system will provide domestic hot water and pool heating at a far
lower overall operating cost than the existing
configuration.
"CA is continuously looking for opportunities to improve the
energy efficiency of its operations and reduce energy consumption
and greenhouse gas emissions," said Jeremy
Scharfenberg, Energy Manager for Columbia Association. "Our
Strategic Plan calls for environmental stewardship by incorporating
innovative technology and conservation practices. In addition to
the cost savings we will see with the CHP system, we value the
environmental benefits that the Tecogen system will provide."
"We are delighted to be part of the CA community," said
Robert Panora, President and COO of
Tecogen. "CA has shown itself to be a leader in energy management
and institutional sustainability. Tecogen systems are a perfect fit
for organizations with significant electricity and thermal demands
such as CA. We look forward to working with them."
Tecogen is providing the CHP system in an outdoor enclosure to
be located adjacent to the fitness facility. Locating the unit
outside is a cost-effective way to reduce cost of retrofitting
mechanical areas for CHP. Tecogen will also provide skid-mounted
plumbing assemblies that interface with domestic hot water and pool
systems to allow cost-effective integration.
