This was done to verify Con-Edison’s published numbers and thus generate a benchmark for distributed CHP in New York City. Show less

Designed and built a model identifying clusters of buildings, in an urban area, suitable for Combined Heat and Power generation. These clusters could potentially improve their energy efficiency by 47% and reduce associated costs.Addressing Major Bloomberg’s PlaNYC 2030 goal, of 800MW, of clean distributed generation in NYC.In my Master’s Thesis I built upon this work and designed and built an economic model based on return on investment along with different variable and fixed… Show more Designed and built a model identifying clusters of buildings, in an urban area, suitable for Combined Heat and Power generation.
