2 The Impacts of Built Environment The built environment, composed of buildings and physical infrastructure, has created stress on the natural environment, as well as on human health and productivity. Buildings in the U.S. are responsible for : 71% of electricity, 39% of total energy use, 38% of carbon dioxide emissions, 12% of water consumption, 40% of non-industrial waste, and 87% of our time spent in buildings, A university campus is often an ideal application for combine heating and power or cooling heating and power (CHP or Cogeneration) because thermal loads (heating /cooling) match well with power requirements and existing district energy systems. January 22, 2009 Purdue University Green Building Workshop Page 2

3 In this example of a typical CHP system, to produce 75 units of useful energy, the conventional generation systems use 154 units of energy 98 for electricity production and 56 to produce heat resulting in an overall efficiency of 49 percent. However, the CHP system needs only 100 units of energy to produce the 75 units of useful energy, resulting in a total system efficiency of 75 percent. This diagram illustrates the CO 2 emissions from power and thermal energy generation for two systems: (1) a conventional system with a fossil fuel-fired power plant and a natural gasfired boiler; and (2) a 5 megawatt natural gas turbine CHP system power. The conventional system emits a total of 49,000 tons of CO 2 per year (13 kilotons from the boiler and 36 kilotons from the power plant), while the CHP system, with its higher efficiency, emits 23,000 kilotons of CO 2 per year.

4 Cogeneration/CHP Can Make Our Campus Greener! Congregation systems increase the overall efficiency of power plants. It uses this reject heat to heat, cool, and/or dehumidifies buildings through a district energy system. Large campuses centralize heating and cooling and have large electrical loads. A common way is to size boilers for the entire campus s heating load. Large facilities may choose to oversize the boiler, enabling the use of excess steam to power a steam turbine for electrical generation or a steam-driven chiller. This steam may make the generation of electricity or cooling less expensive than conventional methods such as purchasing from the grid and using conventional electric chillers. January 22, 2009 Purdue University Green Building Workshop Page 4

5 Cogeneration/CHP Can Make Our Campus Greener! CHP systems on US campuses currently provide over 967 MW of generation, with another 675 MW in planning, consideration or construction. The average campus CHP system was 15 MW in size, with a wide range, from 0.18 to 85 MW installed on campuses. In the US, with over 160 institutions in DOE census, 43 million lb/h (20 tons/h) of 150 psig steam installed heating capacity, coupled to 4.5 million linear feet (1400 km) of piping networks. Campuses have a total of 900,000 tons of cooling capacity, coupled with 1.7 million linear feet (500km) of chilled water distribution networks. Campus cooling systems often use steamdriven absorption chillers. Colleges and universities are installing CHP in response to campus load growth and a shift toward year-round operations and the growth of attendant air conditioning loads.
