CIBSE updates CHP guidance

04 April, 2013

CIBSE has revised and updated its guidance on combined heat and power for buildings. This application manual (AM12) has been produced in recognition of the role that CHP can play in delivering low-carbon buildings. It features new chapters on district-heating applications, information for assessing environmental benefits and more detail on tri-generation (cooling, heating and power — CCHP).

CHP and district heating can be cost-effective to implement in many applications, converting as much as 85% of the input fuel into useful energy.

Used appropriately, CHP increases resource energy efficiency and reduces CO2 emissions. A building’s dependence on the electricity grid can be reduced or eliminated.
