Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Systems Guidelines
Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI-CCS, CCPR.
Overview
Energy is becoming more and more a major factor in building systems design.
Engineers who strive to utilize the most current technology and efficient
systems are looking at Combined Heat & Power (CHP) systems as a primary option
early in the building design. CHP is an important part of America’s energy
future.
In
this course the student will learn some of the basic guidelines for
understanding Combined Heat & Power (CHP) systems. This course is intended to
complement the knowledge of those who have some idea of what CHP is by providing
information to serve as a refresher or provide reference to specific information
to assist in performing a first level screening or assessment of the suitability
of CHP to a particular facility.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in the
Combined Heat & Power (CHP) Resource Guide - September 2003 prepared by the
Midwest CHP Application Center and Avalon Consulting, Inc. in partnership with
the US DOE
The
student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-six (26) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
