Series: Facilities Management ; 8(12) September 2001, 10-11(2)Publication details: 2001Subject(s): Summary: Combined heat and power (CHP) is an efficient technology for generating electricity and heat together. CHP plants simultaneously generate usable heat and power in a single process. Details the key benefits of CHP. These include the fact that, typically, it achieves a 35% reduction in primary energy use, in comparison with power stations and heat-only boilers. In addition, CHP will be exempt from the Climate Change Levy tax.
