Combined Heat & Power System at Residential Condominium
A 368 unit multi-residential condominium was looking for a solution to reduce their energy costs for residents and take advantage of government rebates for climate reduction projects. The landlord was recommended a combined heat and power system to be installed on-site, while continuing to be connected to the local utility grid for back-up power.
Project Details:

- System installed and operated on-site for control and security
- No capex expenses for building
- System is maintained and monitored by Berkshire
Results:
- Customer saves 17% on their electricity costs (over $100,000 per year)
- Customer saves money, receives a climate rebate and gains greater control over their energy services
