The Packaged CHP Accelerator is a U.S. Department of Energy initiative designed to validate packaged CHP technologies for growing commercial, institutional, multi-family, government and light manufacturing markets. Central to the Accelerator is the Packaged CHP eCatalog, an open source, web-based system that hosts US DOE recognized packaged CHP systems that include select features designed to reduce economic and performance risk for the CHP user. This session will share both government and private sector perspectives on development and market need for the Packaged CHP eCatalog and Packagers.
