BCHP Research and Demonstration

CHP Test Center

The Integrated Energy Systems Test Center is designed as a research facility that explores the intricacies of integrating advanced power generating equipment, such as microturbines and fuel cells, with waste heat activated technologies such as absorption chillers and desiccant systems.
The Chesapeake Building, which currently has two CHP systems installed, is a fully instrumented platform for conducting research on advanced energy efficient and environmentally friendly building technology.
